    I have offers for Architecture from all 3 but I'm stuck between which is the most reputable arty course! The league tables are unhelpful and I can't find anything online!

    PLEASE HELP!

    The league tables would say Sheffield is the best, personally I would agree. I've also had an offer there and it is very studio based, pretty much every day (of first year at least) would will be in the studio or will have tutorials about current projects. Basically this shows it is a very 'arty' course. Their career prospects are also really good and it seems like they try really hard to help you to get a placement in your fourth year, as they have good connections with employers.

    However, most reputable generally isn't important in Architecture as long as you have a good degree you will be employable. It seems to be a job market which isn't biased to the course you did, just your skill gained on that course. I would say choose where you feel most comfortable, if you like the city/ facilities/ course structure/ tutors attitude etc.
