KCL VS UofE Psychology

I have received offers from KCL and LSE in psychology, and an offer in business and psychology from the University of Edinburgh. Currently, I’m interested in marketing, business, and forensic psychology. I am sure that I will choose LSE as the firm choice, but I am completely drawn about where to pick the insurance option. The overall dilemma is that Edinburgh consistently ranks higher than KCL in league tables, but for psychology, KCL is second in the UK. However, if I go to UofE, I will already have business classes at the undergraduate level, which will make my life easier at the graduate level.*On the other side, I have already satisfied the conditions of UofE and not those of KCL. Honestly, I am quite a perfectionist who aims very high. What would you do in my situation?? I don’t mind the location.
Thanksss

KCL is slowly but surely gathering a reputation for disgruntling students, so I'd avoid it if I were you. It also seems like Edinburgh is more in line with your future goals so I'd choose that over KCL, it will be much more beneficial to you in the long run.

I'm a KCL grad from '23 and honestly, it gets worse by the year. It's gotten so so bad. They decided to remove the CV review to replace it with a f**king AI review bot in the fashion of ChatGPT like are you serious? The teaching has taken a nose dive too.
