Well yeah, I mean I chose to apply to University College London instead of Cambridge, though still a very good university Cambridge gets better results, in my degree choice (philosophy). I chose it because of its position.
Well would you go to a technical school to get a philosophy degree?
I know nothing about University College London, but I'm going to assume it has at the very least a decent program. Obviously, not all people choose a college for the degree prestige only or only location or only sports, and so on.
Point is, if you choose to go to a school INTERNATIONALLY it is likely strictly based on the degree prestige. Location may play a part but I would not choose Florida A&M over MIT as an engineer based on location (I'm not an enigeneering major; just an easy example). The schools considered will have to be at least close in the eyes of employers.
