I have an offer for MSc in Big Data and Text Analytics from the University of Essex and another in Data Science from Goldsmiths. I'm interested in both subjects tbh. Ive been doing my research to see which university is better at offering its programme but haven't reached a final decision yet. It's really hard to tell which university is better for the programme when your applying from overseas. Can you please advise and help me out in reaching a decision. Also, how is life in Essex as apposed to london (especially near goldsmiths)? I'm talking about nightlife, social life and daily activities.
