Warwick VS Birkbeck VS Royal Holloway

Warwick no question

I have had good times with my limited exposure to Warwick's Philosophy department...do recommend

but but.... I need a reason to give up studying in London.

Warwick is a more renowned university than the other two and it is certainly no where near as dead as you might think. Also cheaper living.

My mate who goes there said there's one decent club in Coventry ; can't remember the name now but it seemed every student goes there

hum.... may I ask why?

Warwick is regarded as one of the best universities in the UK, the other two aren't.

Going for the London universities purely because they're in London isn't really the best decision since you'd get a similar experience for a cheaper price at Manchester or another big city.

If you have the capacity to get a Warwick offer, why didn't you apply for UCL/KCL/LSE? They're in London and are around Warwick's level in terms of reputation and favorability to employers.

they were all my choices but nah, all of them rejected me for unknown reason, lol. I checked the citation rate and academic reputation of philosophy departments of the three uni and Warwick scored the worst amongst all.

@conavioak RoHo isn't in London

wut.........!

just Googled, and yes, I guess RH is a little bit too remote to be in London, lol.

Sorry to hear that!

Warwick is better than both Birkbeck and RH, regardless of what some individual sources may say

Particularly if you want to work in something outside of philosophy, Warwick's name alone will undoubtedly better your chances compared to the other two

Think of it this way: although Warwick isn't in London, going to Warwick will improve your chances of getting a job that pays enough to live in London and do all the fun stuff you'd like in later life
