hi, i am a graduated senior in US. I receive an offer from UCL recently and am struggling with these two options.

Vanderbilt:
Major Undecided(but I like Econ and political science)
Advantages: major and course more flexible, can choose two majors; US education more focus on liberal arts
Disadvantage: location(nashville ), not as well known as UCL, harder to find jobs

UCL
Major Economics
Ad: awesome location(london), 3 years graduated, tuition cheaper than US, high world ranking
Dis: UK education is a bit too narrow

I am pretty much decided to study Econ or political science related subjects in school. But I also concern about both liberal education and jobs. Vandy has a better liberal education and UCL has a better job future so I am really struggling with choosing which.

Please give me some advice, thx!
