University of Birmingham vs Exeter vs University of Liverpool

Poll

which university to choose?

I don't know which one to choose for undergraduate studies of business management. Please help me with some advice. Take into account the employability, the quality of teaching, prestige, opportunities and so one.

I like Exeter the most out of those I think, but here are some sites you could use to compare:

You can use that to compare uni's easily?

I applied to both Birmingham and Exeter, and they're both such amazing universities! I will say that Exeter is slightly more prestigious but Birmingham has a more welcoming feel to it. Up to you! Visit all the universities and speak to students. Uni stats is a great website to compare.. Can't go wrong! Good luck

From people I've spoken to Exeter comes across quite pretentious sometimes.. Might just have been a few of my friends experience but it seems a stronghold of private school kids, plus the night life is pretty dull. Not sure on birmingham, Liverpool has some amazing night life coming from first hand experience and the city is the perfect size for university life.
Best to do this by a rah and prestige analysis:

Exeter is the most prestigious, but is also apparently full of rahs, so not that.

Liverpool probably has the fewest rahs, but is also the least prestigious, so not that either.

Birmingham is the most ideal.

Unfortunately the two things correlate pretty heavily, and rah or not, all those universities are solidly middle-class. It makes you wonder if going to a Russell Group university is really worth the pain of not fitting in.

What do you mean by middle-class? I thought Ex and Bham are top unis.

I mean the student population is (profoundly) middle-class.

Btw despite my probably biased opinion on the student population (I lived in expensive halls where I didn't fit in at all), I love Birmingham University and I don't regret coming here at all.

Idk. I also have this kind of people in my school but I don't have any problem with them. They are ok, they are human beings too... But I guess that they become aggressive if you try to take away people's attention from them... which i guess... is not the case. Is it?

As long as they don't get on my nerves I am ok. There are some pretty humble rich kids out there so it wont be so bad. And for those attention seekers they need to be brought down a peg or two
