    HELP: Maths at BRUNEL or ESSEX?!
    I can't decide whether to study Bsc Maths at Brunel University or the University of Essex... I've thought about it so much, and I just can't come to a decision.

    Go for Essex. Brunel has a shoddy reputation. I know someone who did a computational finance degree there and has been unemployed for a year, and so have her friends.

    Essex is the safer option.

    Essex has a better reputation, Brunel is where a lot of CCC/CDD candidates go, in my experience anyway.

    To be fair, though, you go to RHUL, so you're in no position to call another university that isn't London Met and company shoddy. :P

    Yet most of the courses there ask for BBB - AAA.

    Curious. :P

    Doesn't matter. There have only been extremely rare cases with rhul maths grads that have been unemployed for extended periods of time, and these extended periods very rarely last more than 6 months.

    I thought RHUL was a good uni. Way better than London Met.
