    Optometry- Cardiff or Aston
    Hey TSR,

    Just came back from Aston University's Open Day, and was quite impressed, however was also really impressed with Cardiff's Optometry Clinic. Really confused as to whether I should select Cardiff or Aston as my firm option, as they are both really impressive, and are asking for AAA. Any insight from current students at either uni's would be greatly appreciated, as really unsure where would be a better choice to study?

    Regards

    I don't have experience with either, but my sister went to Cardiff to do Optometry and absolutely loved it. She was very lucky though, as she worked in Specsavers from her first year onwards, andby the time it came to her Pre-reg year they were happy to take her on, which they wouldn't have done if she hadn't worked there. Now she's happy and a year into being qualified, earning a lot.
