I am planning on applying for both of these universities within a month, however, I like being optimistic and I want help on deciding which one I should pick as my first. If I'm going to be honest, rankings do really bother me. Even though I cannot get into lse or oxbridge, I want to be proud when I say I graduated from x university. In general world rankings and uk rankings, Newcastle uni does beat City uni. However, I heard that even though city uni isn't very good, the business school of it is. I am going to apply for Bsc in Accounting and finance for both of the universities. From my research, cass business school is very controversial and it has mixed opinions. On the other hand, newcastle uni is seen as good as it is also a russell group uni. Which uni of the two do you think is better? Please state your valid reasons.
