Exeter (cornwall) vs UEA for politics

Pretty much what it says on the tin. :smile:

I have an offer from both for ABB to study politics and international relations. Having lived in London all my life I'm looking for something a little different. Here's my issue though - UEA has a course which looks fantastic and so much fun. Exeter, on the other hand, has a much better reputation and I'd get to do a year abroad (as opposed to a semester abroad at UEA).

Help please, I don't want to make the wrong decision! :biggrin:

oh my goodness yeah, the accomodation at exeter is stunning! I was genuinely so gobsmacked. I'm just not sure if 3,000 students is too small... haha thanks, obviously politics doesn't have the greatest reputation at the moment and I'd like to change that! :smile:

There is nothing wrong with Norwich, in fact its better than Cornwall as you have broads and an actual city with things to do, not a bloody field and a few cows. Norwich is one of the safest cities and has a lot going on. And a degree from UEA isn't any worse than a degree from Exeter.

If you love the course at UEA then I'd go for it. Accomodation is really good and really cheap, plus you have the benefit of being very near a city with lots going on. Also going to Exeter isnt going to benefit your employment prospects any more than going to UEA.

I'm not at UEA yet, nor am I from Norwich, but I'd rather be near a city than stuck in a field any day. Plus Cornwall is impossible to get to from anywhere.
