edi or bristol??

Ive got an offer from bristol (for politics and IR) , and still waiting on edinburgh (for straight politics), but if i got both which is better??
ive always wanted to go to edi, but this slow replies and lack of communication has really shone a bad light o them so im really questioning it....
type of uni of dreams - good social life and good academic support with ease of finding fun friends, which is better here bristol or edi...
Also, anyone in the same boat here??

I always push this to people considering Edi, but if your family income is low they do a fairly sizeable bursary (~£5,000 last I checked, mine is £7,250 since I got it before they reduced it.)

Anyhow, aside from the replies/communication, the schools themselves are fine. Tbf the administration is a bit iffy when it comes to applications, but that's all.

Bristol has one of the most toxic university cultures, a lot of my friends have formed substance habits and have depression. I would suggest going to Edinburgh if you want a more relaxed experience, whereas Bristol is fun in the first year because everyone is constantly partying but in the second year it gets really old and a bit too much, your mates go from being ambitious and driven to depressed and lost.
