UCL or Warwick....help

how come you didn't apply to the courtauld?
if you love history of art and london

I didnt apply there cuz its such a specialized insitution and only has about 300 students total and i wanted to go to a large university for my BA and not just one place focusing on one subject. Meet lots of people and be exposed to different degrees, and even having the option to change the degree. I think if all goes well with hstry of art ill Apply to courtauld for a masters or something like that.

okay i'd suggest UCL because it has alot more to offer and not only that it has an excellent location.

I'm going to the Courtauld in sept and my insurance is UCL for history of art. When I was applying I asked around people in the art business (I'm interning at Sotheby's and know people in london galleries) what they considered the were the most prestigious universities for HoArt. The Courtauld came out top hands down followed by Cambridge and Ucl, then places like Bristol, Edinburgh and St Andrews. Warwick was never actually mentioned, but obviously this is only from the persepective of the art industry and in other, not directly art related careers, Warwick is very highly regarded. So I would think carefully about what you want to do with your degree after uni...

ive got the same offers as you. one from Warwick for PAIS and one from UCL for PEES. Ive chosen UCL over Warwick. Among the reasons: i prefer london to living in the countryside, better career prospects, better networking opportunities, UCL was ranked the 9th best Uni in the World last year; im not a fan of league tables, but if they matter for employers it matters for me 2 , international recognition which i think its higher than Warwick's. Im an international student from Eastern Europe and before i came to the UK have never heard of Warwick but certainly heard of UCL.

I firmed UCL and PEES.

The one thing I don't look forward to is carpeted floors everywhere. What's up with that anyway?

I am feeling slightly responsible for your life now... although I stand by my advice. Quite a lot of pressure though!

I went on a short UK trip over the weekend. London unsurprisingly kicked ass, and the SSEES made a very good impression. While I don't want to contest the academic achievements of Warwick, it did on the other hand feel isolated and dull, like you'd have to get a bus to even get to the middle of nowhere (Coventry). I firmed UCL and PEES.

Hi there! I see here a couple of people with the same problem as mine... Warwick or London? I applied for art hist and Italian to UCL and for art hist to Warwick and got conditional offers from both of them, though Warwick would give me an opportunity to start from the 2nd year as now I'm studying art hist, Italian and Russian at Glasgow Uni. I haven't send my reply yet cause I'm still thinking which uni should I choose... I will most probably go for London as my boyfriend is going to study at LSE next year... Anyway, I'm a bit frightened by London... I'd prefer living in the middle of nowhere, as someone said;p

btw, has anybody seen the intercollegiate halls?
