queen mary, royal holloway, or soas

i've been stuck on which of these unis to choose for my firm/insure, any help is open!
{based on my internet browsing and personal opinion}

queen mary- history course
- russel group, more prestigious
-recently seen articles on how there's been secret cameras set up in miles end campus
-quite understaffed and poor staff:student ratio
-requirements BBC

royal holloway- history course
-impressive campus
-friend is planning to firm rhul (may impact my choice)
-heard that it's pretty welcoming and friendly
-requirements BBC

soas- east asian studies and history joint course
-much more interesting imo, specialised in asian/african history (less Eurocentric)
-heard the admin isn't very good
-more niche so im more unsure of future prospects and job market
-requirements BBB
(though im planning to go to the applicants day 26th)

i missed the other offer holder/ applicants days unfortunately, so i'll only see soas.

overall i think my choices are more on rhul and soas, due to how interesting the course is and my friend being a factor.
please help me choose which you think i should firm, and if i should rethink about qmul since its a more pretigious institution and if it'll possibly imapct my prospects.
