Queen Mary or City Uni

I'm applying for computer science courses and I can't choose between Queen Mary and city university for my first choice.
I'm either going to go for Business computing systems at City or Computer Science and Business Management at QMUL.
I went to both Open days and found that the course at city was far more interesting and the travel was easier but I preferred QM's campus, location and the community!
I don't know which I should prioritise!! Some people suggest i should go for the better course but QM's course isnt bad its just not as interesting in comparison.

Queen Mary is in the Russell Group - it shouldn't be the decisive factor, but it's worth noting.

I think I'm beginning to lean towards Queen Mary and this is just tipping the scales! Thanks :smile:

Do you know anyone who is currently going to QMUL?

City is really good for business so would be good for getting a job after, not sure about QM but I'm sure it's a better Uni in general. I'd probs choose QM myself due to the reasons you gave and also their SU is much better and I think it would be better to live out there because cheaper and like you said you prefer the community and stuff :smile:

but I guess if you're living at home and you prefer the course at city you might do better there.. You just have to weigh everything up :smile:

Yeah it is a better uni, and i think if i imagined myself anywhere, it probably would be there. I'm definitely going to travel, but i think i'd get used to the journey after a week or so. now really, it's just the course that's bothering me :s-smilie:
