Bath Spa or Royal Holloway?

I have offers for both with BBB for RH, BBC for BSU

Would anyone be able to advise what one would be best??

Royal Holloway pros/cons:

•

close to london

•

not much to do

•

no nightlife ??

•

really good uni

•

potentially harder to make friends??

•

close to airports and other cities/towns

•

good transport links overall

Bath Spa pros/cons:

•

not ranked as high

•

only 10 mins from bristol by train

•

not too overbearing like some cities

•

more nightlife

•

accom harder to afford

•

closer to home (not essential but makes it easier to come home if necessary)

•

lots of scenery

I am studying geography, i have visited RH but waiting to visit Bsu in january.

I’m really not sure which to firm

Thanks!

You don't need to make that decision until May/June. Go to offer holder days in Spring - they really help with the decision-making process.

Bath Spa Uni mostly revolves around Performance/Creative courses and Teaching degrees.
Its a stunningly beautiful campus but it wont have a big Geog dept and Bath is an expensive place to live.
