British universities to study International Relations

Hello!
I am doing a university tour in the UK this July. I'm trying to figure which universities have the best courses for international relations (also possibly politics) as well as a good vibe. Currently, I'm considering
- St. Andrews
- LSE
- Kings College
- Oxford
I'm also looking for a university with a good sense of community and open-minded people. My grades get me into most universities besides Cambridge. Imperial, UCL, Bath, Manchester, and Edinburgh also seem like decent Unis; Are there any others I should look at?
Also, if anyone has attended any of these universities, please share your experiences!

Greetings!
I am doing a university tour in the UK this July. I'm trying to figure which universities have the best courses and prepare me the best in that area for the future. Additionally, I'm also looking for a university with a good sense of community and open-minded people. I've completed the IB diploma and should get into most universities, so grades shouldn't be a problem (besides Cambridge). Are there any others I should look at?
- Oxford
- St. Andrews
- LSE
- Kings College
Imperial, UCL, Bath, Manchester, and Edinburgh also seem like decent Unis?

Oxford and Imperial don't offer degrees in IR. Bath only do as joint honours with politics, and Cambridge only as part of their HSPS degree.

Yeah, unfortunately. I was thinking of Oxford's PPE course or history / politics bachelors, even possibly Geography. It isn't exactly IR but I didn't want to rule out. I had imperial on the list because of its politics course but I'll rule it out. Joint honours is also fine.
