For me, id go Bristol, just for the bars, restaurants & nightlife you’ll get their, reputation benefit is minimal between the two. Not to mention Bristol is right at the center of British aerospace (although tbf Bath is just down the road so not exactly far to visit potential employer insight events).

I am not sure if I am honest. Right now I am leaning towards Southampton but I haven't had a chance to visit any of them. Wbu?

I really like the look of Bristol. I think it ticks all the boxes of a good uni for aero and its got a great night life too. I visited the uni and its a great place. The only thing with imperial is the cost and the work load.

Ive graduated (mech eng), have some industry experience & am now a PhD researcher in an area of propulsion engineering.
Engineering at Cambridge (Awaiting a Decision)
Aerospace Engineering: Imperial ( A*A*A* Offer) Bath Bristol (hold) Southampton (AA Offer)
A Levels: A* Maths Achieved, 3A*s in Further Maths, Physics and Chemistry
GCSEs: They're irrelevant who even cares about them anymore
Extracurriculars: Lectures/Books/MOOCSs/Projects around 3 topics (Fluid Mechanics and its Biological Applications, Aerodynamic Testing, Propulsion)
Any Questions i'm more than happy to answer

Personally would go with Bath

Really? How come?
On paper it might be slightly more prestigious but if you look at the big picture i think Bristol will be a better experience overall like what @mnot said.

Thats really interesting. What uni did you go to? And what type of propulsion research are you doing?

Have you taken a gap year? Just curious about how you've managed so many extracurriculars. I'm taking the IB and just coping.
Congrats, those are fab Universities

I've gone with Imperial, Bath, Loughborough, Sheffield, and Liverpool. With offers from the last three Unis and on-hold at Imperial and Bath.

I applied on October 12th - just before the Oxbridge deadline so I have sat the admissions test for Imperial already.
