Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

Kingston or U of Greenwich?

Okay, so I have just one more choice to fill it's between Kingston and Greenwich. I'm taking Economics btw, and I've checked the league table but considering they're both in the bottom 100 (well more like Kingston's 86 and Greenchwich's 110) it doesn't seem to make much difference.

Any students from there? Which would be better for economics? What do you guys thinkg? :confused:

Which do you prefer?

I think Kingston is meant to have a fair rep considering its not the highest uni. If you werent keen on the open day then Id go for Kingston. You have another 4 youre applying to anyway right?

It depends on which campus Greenwich would place you in. If it's their Maritime campus,

If, however, they place you in their Medway campus ( :puke:

), then I'd probably go for Kingston.

For Economics their pretty useless/poor (though Greenwich would edge it out), though look and see which has more interesting modules. I'd just choose whichever course you liked the look of more.

Because looks are everything right? :hmm:

Lol. Pictures do look nice and yeah, I'm pretty sure I'd be based in the maritime campus since econs is done there. IRL however.....mind you, it's winter when I went to look.

So....Greenwich would be better than Kingston, subject-wise?

I didnt mean Kingston wasnt higher than Greenwich, I mean in general, its not one of the highest. However it still seems to get a pretty good review. So Id suggest picking Kingston, especially as Greenwich is so much lower.

I preferred the look of the Greenwich course because it had greater scope in it's econometric modules. This is why I had Greenwich edge it. Obviously this will differ for you.
