Is SOAS good for LLB law

I got BBB in my alevels and I had to pick between studying law at Queen Mary's or SOAS and I was advised to pick SOAS as it's regarded as a better institution internationally but now the more I research it the worse it sounds.. is it really that bad of a university? Is it worth paying 9k a year to study at? Are there any better options and is it worth transferring to another university instead? I was hoping to get into KCL but I didn't apply there and the only course they didn't let me into during clearing was law and suggested I do something else which I wasn't interested in. Was it a mistake to cross out queen Mary's?...

At first I applied for international relations with law but then switched it to just an LLB after I was accepted but now I feel like it was a mistake to study law at SOAS and perhaps it would've been better to do it elsewhere. Ik how good SOAS is for IR but is it the same for law?
What made you want to switch courses? You could've completed your IR degree before doing a conversion?

As in I was meant to study IR for my undergraduates but instead switched it to a LLB and then maybe doing IR as a masters

OP, are you currently a student at SOAS? Please see my reply to your other thread on this subject.

Why do you feel soas is not good for law? As am wondering if to apply there or not. Thanks
