    Peninsula Medical School or Manchester?
    I have offers to study medicine at Peninsula Medical School and Manchester; but which one!?

    • Same entry criteria
    • I live near Peninsula Medical School
    • The PMS course consists of 2 years at home and then 3 years away.
    • The courses are identical other than disection at Manchester.
    • Manchester has been going since 1824 whereas PMS only opened in 2002.
    • Manchester is a large urban city with everything that comes with that (lots to do and places to go, but higher crime etc) whereas Plymouth and Exeter I would consider probably nicer, more relaxing places to live.
    • Manchester is very grand and impressive, PMS is smaller but much more modern.


    Obviously it's down to me really, but if anyone is in a similar situation I'd be interested to hear what you think.

    Probably saw this a bit too late!
    I am in a similar situation, but with Peninsula and Durham :confused:

    Which did you choose? I still really don't know with the deadline fast approaching!
