Re: Which University would YOU choose?I'd choose durham but only because I feel like st. andrew's went up in the league tables mostly because of the royal wedding making silly girls with good grades want to go there to meet their prince as well as less silly girls and boys choosing to go while its still "hot right now" all over the world, so its reputation feels slightly less deserved (although it is a good university) and the others don't have as heavy of a weight of prestige and recognition despite their individual merits.

Re: Which University would YOU choose?The line from the history boys: 'Durham was very good for history. Its where I had my first pizza. Other things too but its the pizza that stands out,' swings it for me. What can I say? I love pizza and history.

Re: Which University would YOU choose?St. Andrews has always been in the top 10 of the UK for quite some time prior to the Prince's arrival. It has also always had strong links with America prior to the Prince.(Original post by awkward questions)

Re: Which University would YOU choose?Yes I have. Basically International Relations (international politics @ KCL, and something international @ bath)(Original post by skay)
OP, what are the courses you have an offer for? I imagine you've received an offer from all 5 of those unis? -

Re: Which University would YOU choose?Have you looked at the specific modules on offer? Eg Durham have a lot of middle east-focused modules so if that's what you are really interested in, great; if not, other courses may be better for you.(Original post by Do4Rubi)
