    Warwick or Bristol?
    I'm considering my university offers for law, and my top 2 choices are now Bristol and Warwick.
    I prefer the course at Warwick because it's more 'contextual', and I applied for a years study abroad, but am worried Warwick will be a boring place to live?

    What's it like to live in Warwick and Bristol?
    What do you like about the course/any course at Warwick or Bristol?

    Thanks

    Nah, I don't think its boring... its just that you may have to travel a little bit to Birmingham for big nights etc

    Honestly, a year abroad + you mention that you prefer the course must surely mean that you should go to Warwick

    The Law course at Bristol is woeful. Low feeback, disinterested staff, teaching off-loaded onto anyone. Don’t be taken in my the league tables. No doubt the staff research is superb by international standards but if you never see them….

    Please develop.

    From reading your profile, I guess you started in 2007?

    Bristol

    Aloof research obsessed academics, low contact, low feedback, social elitism, tough 3 hour exams, undergraduate teaching offloaded onto anyone.

    I am now elsewhere and much happier!
