    UEA vs Warwick - Biological Sciences??
    Hi,

    I've been given conditional offers at both UEA and Warwick for the Biological Science's course, both of which I think I can probably meet. I havn't been able to visit either university as I live in Spain, but used to live in Norwich so already have friends there, but have no idea what the university is like. Warwick seems to have a better overall reputation than UEA, but UEA seems to be ranked higher in Biological Science. It would be great if anyone who knows anything about either university could give me your opinions as I'm really stuck atm and don't have a clue which to choose.
    Also has anyone been to the open days at either uni? What did you think of it?
    Also what are the Biology facilities like at each uni?

    Thanks in advance

    I'm a current UEA student so I can help in that aspect, although I don't know anything about biological sciences. It is true overall that Warwick has a better reputation, although the reputation means nothing if you wouldn't be happy at that uni. Look at the course profile for both, the accomodation and costs and compare locations as you will be living in either place for 3 or 4 years
