Which university is better? Please help!!

I have an offer from LSE for International Relations, KCL for the same course, and UCL for Politics and International Relations and I am genuinely stuck. They all have the same offer, same fees, location isn’t in question here, and accommodation is not an issue. I really like the course at all schools, so I am hoping to get insight on which university offers better opportunities after graduating and which will grant better employability. Any help will be appreciated!

And also, if you do study at any of these schools, can you tell me if you get help from teachers or if it’s strictly independent work?

Thanks a ton!

A lot of people on here will instinctively think that the answer is LSE. But the answer is UCL. According to The Complete University Guide surveying graduated students anyway.
Edurank says UCL's best of them for Politics and that LSE's best of them for International Relations.

Have you compared the modules and optional modules for all years of the course? Do you get the opportunity to study abroad or a placement year? These will add to your graduate CV and your employment prospects.

What is your offer for KCL if you don’t mind me asking?
