As the title says, I want to know a professional's opinion about which is better: studying medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College in Qatar or studying biomedical engineering at Imperial College London? I love both fields a lot and I would appreciate your help.

The real question here is what career do you want to go into? You have it backwards - you shouldn't choose a career based on which school may be "better," but rather you should choose a career first then investigate schools to help you meet your career aspirations.

I love that answer. However, I really do love both fields A LOT. I have given up choosing between them a long time ago. Right now, I just want to know which college is generally better academically and socially.

Having attended several, I know that a college is only what you make it. The most wonderful university in the world would be a disaster for me (or you) if the "fit" isn't right. One of my choices was a college near Chicago versus one in the middle of a cornfield in Nebraska. Note the location among other things. Qatar versus London. Hmmmm. Can you visit both of them or do a virtual visit via their websites? Also, which degree will mean something to the rest of the world and be more accepted? Which degree has the best possibility of jobs and personal growth and growth of income?

I agree with ebaines. Decide which course of studies you want to pursue, then find the college/university that is highly rated for that.
