What would you do?!

Thought I'd post this here!

I missed my firms offer to do Economics at Exeter, and got a place at my insurance (York) but I don't think I want to go to York.

I'm stuck between these two options now; I've been offered a place at Durham University to study Business & Management or I can retake a couple modules and boost my grades up to A*A*A or A*A*A* - I'm not too far off! And then reapply to study just straight economics. However, in my gap year I'm just going to focus on my modules to ensure I meet the grades, maybe a couple work experience placements but nothing heavy!

So yeah, Durham is an amazing university, however I'm just not sure about the course

Any advice would be hugely appreciated

It's simple. Don't do any course that doesn't interest you.

Personally, I'd take a gap year and try to improve your grades. At the end of the day, I would avoid picking a university or course you don't like. Although you've said you like Durham, at the end of the day you have to be motivated to study the course for 3 years, and I would always pick the course over the uni.

Well it is a real informative course and very interesting so go for it 100%

I prefer Economics as a course but Business and Management was also interesting However, I don't know as much about it as I do Economics.

Are you aware that Durham's Business & Management course is not taught in the beautiful cathedral city but in the rather down-at-heel town of Stockton, some 25 miles away?

Well, only you can make that choice, but it sounds to me like it's a course which is always going to be your second choice, and there's no reason why that should be. A gap year is better than making do.

Why on earth is wrong with York?

Nothing, it's a lovely university - I've just had a very strange, confusing, terrible week and made some bad decisions I guess.

Well, if it were me, I'd take York over Durham/Stockton any day of the week, for what it's worth.
