Birmingham or st.george's?

st georges and birmingham are both great medical schools.

you got to look at the teaching styles. st georges has a lot of pbl and birmingham has a little bit of pbl. you got to compare the area, do you want to live in tooting or birmingham.

Thanks every1 for ur coments, really appreciate it
I still can't make my mind, I know bham is an amazing school and my brother is a 3rd year medic there and he's having the time of his life! While george's-although is a London school- from what I've heard cannot boast to be central London and the area is a bit dull and boring. But still central London is a few stops away lol.

I'm an international student and I'm just wondering in terms of reputation, university status etc. Which one is better?

Both pretty much similar!! If i were you I'd pick the cheaper one as they so similar on all other levels

I've got offers to do medicine in both but I'm finding it really difficult to choose which to to firm and which to insure! Any help ?

Getting a foundation posting is easier in Bham than in London and there is little/no competition in Bham with other med schools (the complete opposite in London )

Good Luck choosing!

where you graduate from has nothing to do whatsoever with where you get a job. you can apply to London even if you are bham and vice versa! London is competitive as many students from oxbridge and other universities choose to come here. but being a london student does not by any means force you to stay once you graduate.



i beg to differ! tooting is where things you might not think could happen, do happen! george's is a nice uni, tooting... yes, not so nice (in terms of poshness, architecture, cleanthiness, etc. but it certainly isnt as bad as places like Whitechapel). and you tend to make the best of it: all the curry houses and halal food if you want it, kingston is a bus ride away, wimbeldon is a 5 mins bus trip, etc. and then you pop down to london for other things. its nice to be able to be far enough to get cheap accommodation but also a 20 min tube ride to the centre.
