King's College or Warwick

Hi, I hold conditional offers for both Hispanic Studies with Economics at Warwick and Management and Modern Languages at King's. People have been telling me that going to Warwick is going to give me far better career prospects, but personally I much rather go to London and I think I'd be much happier there due to my boyfriend and friends living there. I also haven't seen any evidence which points towards Warwick being much better in the long run, especially if i go on to study at Maters or PHD level. My question is would it be worth it to go to Warwick or is there just not that much of a difference in the long run?

Congrats!!! Warwick is often viewed as more prestigious so that might be why people are pushing you more towards that uni but if you feel like you will be happier at King's go, still a great school. I would a look at the modules in further detail because from my perspective the courses seem pretty different but I could be wrong

Which *course* do you prefer - have you looked at the optional units on offer for all years of each course, at the study abroad opportunities/destinations etc? And btw, academics dont obsess about 'which Uni' when you are applying for postgrad - this is the fixation only of school-leavers and is fuelled by commercial rankings lists that have rightly been described as little better than click-bait and can never tell you if you will like that course or enjoy being at that Uni - ie. go to the Offer Holder visit days at each Uni, look around, ask questions, and make up your own mind about which course/Uni will suit you best.
