remus - you should read our whole debate about this issue in the 'rejected' post. I seemed quite outnumbered on the view that Bristol discriminate, although i still firmly believe they do.
I was initially going to have to make the choice between exeter and bristol too, until they rejected me. Although i was gutted, it makes my choice a lot easier. exeter is an absolutely adorable uni. by far the prettiest ive seen. But Bristol's reputation is a lot better and the city is awesome. so i wouldnt let this rumour of discrimination sway you away from giving up such a good opportunity.
