I couldn't decide between BPP and College of Law in Manchester so I went to the open days of each and that helped me to decide. Well, I say it helped, I actually preferred the College of Law open day between the two, but because BPP have a scholarship scheme and an annual essay competition, I chose BPP, as that increases my chances of securing funding.

I can see the attraction in open exams but I actually prefer closed exams. I feel under pressure to perform more in an open exam because I have access to the materials. I like to perform well in either exam but I just prefer closed exams.

I don't think going to either is in any form going to hinder your career chances. Better to look at costs, accommodation opportunities, electives, and whether or not you prefer a more 'university feel' as opposed to a professional day college.
