UCL or Imperial

My daughter got offers from Imperial and UCL to study Biology.
Interested to know if anyone had any experience with these two Unis and can share which would be the best choice.

my preference is Imperial but she seem to prefer UCL. She seem to think Imperial is extremely intense and difficult while UCL is meant to be more chilled. She’s worried the intensity might be too much to keep up with for 3 years. She’s coming from a highly academic school and is currently doing iB which is a lot of work but she have been coping very well, even if that mean she studies 7 days a week.

I am hoping this thread can help with some actual facts to help her make a decision. I know us parents say its the child’s decision but they are still very young and need guidance IMO

Thanks in advance for your help
