URGENT KCL or UCL

I have an offer from KCL for economics and management, but I see that UCL is in clearing with arts and science. I’ve been hung up on UCL higher prestige and also the environment for while, after being rejected from economics in UCL.
Should I apply, even though I know that I prefer kings course and degree title.

I think if you know you prefer KCL just go there, you uni experience will be 3 years long and you don't want to regret taking a course that you don't actually like.

No comereeeeeeee😭🥹🥹🥹. The course actually looks quite good. If a higher ranking and more maths base course is what you want then maybe do gap year but kcl should be nice. I’m op btw😂

I mean business management modules are likely going to be easier than econ. Tbh I never have high expectations of teaching, I always did independent study. I know that in lse it’s have an atmosphere a lot more competitive according to frds so I didn’t apply. What do you mean by experience?
