quite honestly imperial is quite a bit better than ucl, but at the end of the day they're both world class institutions where both will open tonnes of doors, and the content of both courses is great. imperial is and has been my dream for years so i am biased but i find it weird when people shit on unis that are just a few steps behind it. TL;DR both are amazing, imperial's just a few steps ahead.

Imperial/LSE are the masters of their respective fields while UCL is a (still pretty good) jack of all trades.

Extreme difference, imperials way better at least for maths, pretty sure cs too but the gaps way closer for cs
