A hard question. Both are quite well ranked both require the same A-level grades for entry. Do either of you like sport by any chance? If so, the choice will be clear!
- Great social atmosphere - Surely the best campus environment in Britain - Totally beasting student media (yep, we're great! :-D) - Extremely high-quality halls accommodation (mostly) - High emphasis on improving sports and culture - the new sports park is the best in Britain - Best graduate employment rate in Britain (99.6% within 6 months of graduation) - Strong emphasis on both academic knowledge and employment/business skills - Free language courses for all students - Excellent - I mean excellent - research across the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences
Downside (only one):
- Expensive living costs, including expensive beer (but this doesn't seem to stop anyone)
