KCL vs Birmingham for accounting and finance

Hello, I've got offers for both KCL and Birmingham Bsc accounting and finance but I'm struggling to decide between the two.

What option is better in your opinion and why, I think hearing from others would help a lot. Thank you.

Both are good unis but the student experience will be totally different. UoB is a campus uni whilst Kings is based in London and has depts dotted around the city. King's College London's Accounting & Finance programs are taught at the Strand Campus according to the website. Living in London is expensive but a wonderful experience if you can afford it. UoB campus is lovely and has all the facilities you need - library, eateries, the lecture theatres, gym etc - all within a 10 minute walk of each other.

Birmingham is a cheaper place to live - and the Uni has excellent sports facilities as a result of the last Commonwealth Games.
