Bournemouth or Westminster for TV Production?

I can't decide, any thoughts? I've got unconditionals from both as already have results. Just want to decide so I can start preparing accommodation and finance wise.

Help!!

Bournemouth is stronger for all that media/TV shizz so I hear??

Where would you rather live? A fairly quiet seaside town or London?

I've always wanted to live in London but its ridiculously expensive. I hear Bournemouth has a really good student scene aswell

Hey. I had the same decision recently for the television courses. Had both interviews on consecutive days, and got unconditionals from them both the days after! Very happy as I was very impressed with both so it was a difficult decision indeed. After that I got an interview for the Film and TV and Westmin and whilst it's a very renowned course for film I'm more interested in television so declined. In the end I decided on Bournemouth.
Firstly, I was attracted by the high def formatting at Bournemouth. As well as the reputation of the course, and the uni itself. Secondly, it's cheaper. Thirdly,
I started uni in London last year, at Greenwich, and the 'London uni' experience I found to be more the 'London experience': there is less campus atmosphere as people come and go from all places in central. Fab if you're not too bothered about that but I found in terms of local things to do, there wasn't a great deal unless you do a big student night into central which is, again, fairly costly, and you don't meet so many people from your uni.
However, I was mega impressed with the amount of work experience Westmin have to offer (including some paid) as well as the chance to work abroad.
Gosh now you have me re-thinking! It's definitely a tough one. Westmin I felt was more industry centred.

Have you chosen yours yet?
I am just waiting for Westmin to update on that inteview I declined so I can firm my choice.
Good Luck! and congrats.

Bournemouth is far from a quiet seaside town!
