    PPE Durham vs PPE York
    Hello,

    I got offers from both Durham and York for PPE. I want to firm Durham because I to live there (I don't like the modern campus stuff and I prefer to be in an "authentic" town).
    But I commonly hear that the York PPE course is the best one (after Oxford's)...
    So what do you think? what are the differences? the pros and cons for both courses/unis?
    How is PPE at Durham? and compared to York?
