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

Where would you go? Economics undergrad

I have a month and a half to choose which university I want to attend to do Bsc Economics at the end of the year. Just want some input from other people before I make my choice.
My choices are Essex, UEA, Sussex or Reading.
Really don't know what to do because I liked all 4 campuses and areas. :s-smilie:

Definitely Essex, by far the best department out of all four

I'd say that Essex, UEA and Sussex have pretty similar reputations in terms of the league tables (Reading is a bit further down) so I don't think it matters too much in terms of which one is more academic. I personally would pick Sussex but you should choose the one where you think you would fit in best.

Essex university's reputation/department for Economics is superior to the other 3

But to be honest, the overall reputation for these universities are of similar calibre so the differences are tiny.

In your case, you could consider other factors such as location, social life, course content. The Essex uni course content/modules for economics looks interesting by the way! You should take a look on that.
