LSE vs Cambridge Masters Finance and Economics

4

I have an offer from the LSE for their MSc in Finance and Economics. I am also awaiting a reply from Cambridge for their MPhil in Finance and Economics. However, if I were to get an offer from both programs I am torn as to which one I would go to.

On the one hand, I feel that LSE has a better reputation in terms of finance and will set me up better for the industry. On the other hand, Cambridge offers a wider (and IMO better) range of courses that I am more interested in doing and the fact that it is Cambridge...

I also have offers from Imperial and Warwick, but I prefer these two courses. So my question is: If you were to choose, where would you go and why?

*Edit: I got an offer from Cambridge but I have decided to accept LSE 🙂
