King's College London vs University of Bristol

which of these is better, in terms of quality of education, prestige, career prospects, city, and social life?

Political Economy BA/BSc - King's College London
Economics and Politics with Study Abroad BSc - University of Bristol

Not sure what career I want to pursue yet, but interested in intelligence, civil service, data/business/risk analyst roles, UN, tech, or maybe law.

Hi @ellie6256

I'd say that both these universities are very prestige and offer a great education and career prospects.
One thing to consider is that if you go to KCL, you will be living in London, an expensive city.

Bristol is known for its social life, so if that is important to you, then this is also another thing to consider. However, I can't say that I know much or have heard much about the social life at KCL, so it could be good.

A tip would be to reach out to current/former students through Facebook groups and ask them about their experiences.

Good luck!
