Royal holloway vs Other universities

I have applied on UCAS at A*A*B predicted for business management at Bath Leeds York QMUL and Royal holloway. Ive been accepted into 4/5 waiting on bath which wont come back till january. Im wondering if its stupid and wasted potenital for me to even consider going royal holloway (being only non russel group i applied to) and if im just being blinded by the cool campus and possibility of my girlfriend / friends going. I keep changing between York QMUL and Royal holloway. York if i firm i am eligible for BBC grades through NSY program and QMUL is ABB with royal holloway being BBB. I always wanted to go to london and applied QMUL after going open day earlier this year however thinking about it now the area of london isnt the best and recent accademic performance falls short of royal holloway (Royal holloway 38th vs QMUL 50th). My plan is too graduate with a 2:1 / First (hopefully) and apply for a masters in business analytics at UCL or KCL. I was wondering if going to royal holloway not being russel group would ruin my chances and id get beaten out by others that went to russel group and if its worth going royal holloway for my friends and location.

Just to note that Bath also isn't Russell Group. (But at least as good as the others!)

my only problem is i know bath has a good academic presence and ucl and kcl will highly regard it for applicants im just wondering if they wont see royal holloway the same way

Royal Holloway used to be apart of the old 1994 group which Bath and York were both formerly apart of before the group dissolved in 2013. Royal Holloway was also featured in the Sutton Trust’s 30 most selective university list and is apart of the University of London just like Queen Mary. So I think you will be fine going to Royal Holloway if that is where you wish to go to as it’s important to remember the Russell Group is not the British version of Ivy League, it’s just a group of big unis which are research intensive just how the 1994 group was a group for smaller unis which were research intensive. So I’d argue that Royal Holloway is well regarded academically and if you wanna go to Royal Holloway, then it’s best you choose it.
