MSc Environment programs: Oxford ECM vs LSE CCEE vs UBC RMES?

[earlgrey&almonds]

This week I received admission to Oxford's 1-year MSc in Environmental Change and Management program (funding not announced yet - I will need to decide before they let me know), LSE's 1-year MSc in Climate Change and Environmental Economics (no funding), and UBC's 2-year MA/MSc program at the Institute for Resources, Environment, and Sustainability (RMES) (with a full ride and very generous living expenses through SSHRC).

I am really excited to have these choices, but very overwhelmed. Both LSE and Oxford would mean going into substantial debt (at least $40k CAD for the year) - I might get a bit of funding from Oxford but it won't likely be more than 10k CAD. But it is undeniable that they are more well-known than UBC -- in QS Geography rankings Oxford is 1st, LSE 2nd, and UBC 6th (though I know to take ratings with a grain of salt). Is the extra reputation worth accepting the LSE or Oxford offer? 

Extra context: 

-I plan on pursuing a career in climate policy advocacy working for not-for-profits or thinktanks, but would gravitate to lower-paying organizations with a strong justice lens like 350.org or Oil Change International over more corporate higher-paying ones (TL;DR: I don't expect to make a ton of money).

-I currently have a job working for an international environmental NGO, but more on the community-organizing side of things than the strategy & policy area I would like to move into

-I will have about $20k CAD in savings by the time I go to school, and have access to government loans to pay for about half the debt I would accrue from the UK schools, the rest would be private loans.

Well I suggest you choose UBC. 1st, you do not have to worry about money at all -> enjoy life, better productivity, less pressure. 2nd, the difference between ranking is not that substantial to take the loan. If you get offer from LSE and Oxford and full ride from something in top 40, take LSE/Oxford for sure. But that is not your situation.
