Bsc Econ, Warwick or kcl?

I was wondering which university is better in terms of future prospects. As in where would I be able to find better networking, job opportunities, internships and just overall academic and career advantages?
And also, would living in Coventry and the Warwick campus be a bit depressing compared to king’s college London? I prefer having a college life outside of just studies, so I am a bit worried about choosing a uni which may not be in the city.
From what I researched Warwick seemed to be a better option academically for economics, however I worry that I might miss out on the opportunities that come with living in London (internships, networking and the location of kcl which seems to be gorgeous).

So just wanted to gather more opinions to figure out which uni to pick.

(Edit: interested to get into investment banking or something similar in the future)

What networking do you really think you’ll be doing as a student?

The only advantage re internships is that if you secure one in London and if you have 52 week accommodation, then you have somewhere to live. And if not 52 week, then at least find familiarity with the city so finding somewhere might be a bit less daunting.

If you can’t decide based on course content, then the key question really has to be where do you want to live?
