Default Can't choose my Insurance
 
Help!
I've done the standard pro's con's thing and am literally incapable of reaching a decision: basically i have to choose between English Lit at either Warwick (AAB) or Durham (Josephine Butler college AAA)

Its important because my firm is a four grade offer, so there is every chance I'll end up at my insurance, but i dont know which i would like better. Obviously Warwick is an easier offer, but i think i like the area in Durham more.
Oh, but i dont really like the college......im stuck.
Anyone have any advice over which to go for?

First off WELL DONE for getting offers from both places- they are both great universities, especially for something like English!

Have you visited both? I think that is quite important - it should tell you if you can see yourself there! Warwick is meant to be quite a small place, I don't know much about Durham. I would imagine Warwick would look really pretty. The course content is also a good way to compare them.

Either way you're going to a great place, but I think the area in which a place is can be quite important. Visiting places definitely helped me make up my mind on where I would like to go.

Definitely visit if you haven't already. Look carefully at each course and make sure it suits what you want to do. If you like Durham in general, I wouldn't worry about the college - most people end up loving the one they're in and are very glad they didn't end up somewhere else.

In the end, it may just come down to gut feeling (and of course you may not need the place anyway - be positive )
