Help. Thanks

I want to go bristol but my parents are against it. They are also telling me about the people in notts and the violence which has put me off.

so far

Coventry BBB
Leicester AAB
Manchester AAB
Birmingham AAA

One that is AAA/AAB standard. Preferabely in a bigger city, but not sure where. btw what are surrey and sheffield like to live in and hows the community?

Thanks

What violence is there in Notts?

Not sure if this has already been suggested (apologies if they have), perhaps Leeds/Newcastle? If I remember correctly, their grade requirements are similar to the ones that you want. Does it have to be near the midlands?

What violence is there in Notts?

Does anyone know the approximate percentages of international students who apply to do, and get accepted for, Economics at Cambridge?

Rejected from Manchester for economics yesterday even with extenuating circumstances

Got an unconditional from Aberystwyth with a bursary of £800 if I make them my firm, not like it matters though!

Not really. My parents want me to stay near but I want to move out a bit, hence choosing manchester. One problem is that my parents are indian and are telling me to go to a place with other indians I dont mind mixing with other races but my parents are telling me to. I know it sounds silly but that is one reason that I am finding choosing a uni difficult

Yeah that kind of stuff happens. I'm International and my parents want to me to go to uni closer to London, Birmingham, Manchester but I couldn't find all 5 unis that fit me in these places and I want to try Bristol/York/Newcastle :P I think I'm gonna apply to a few of these places anyway.

I suggest Loughborough? It's near Leicester I think. Sheffield is also closer (as close as Manchester is from the Midlands.) Both are AAB

Yeah. one of my parents is saying that sheffield is not right for me because of the people. I went lufbra open day. Campus is not bad, nice sporting facilities, however I find the place to be too small. Suprisingly it is one that my parents approve of. However i find the people to possibly be a bit and
I am conservative in someways but want a large city to live in, because of employment opportunities available and part time work available.

I have chose

Leicester AAB
Manchester AAB
Birmingham AAA

Need a lower (ABB/BBB) and another AAA/AAB?

You should really look at Loughborough because it's one of the better unis in the midlands I think other than Warwick, Bham, Notts. It doesn't matter what sort of people there are. There's always going to be someone you can be friends with

Idk in the midlands there's Aston, Birmingham City Uni, Coventry, Wolverhampton. I'm kind of bad at this 'cos I'm not from UK lol. There are loads of South Asians in London. Don't you have relatives there? You could maybe ask your parents?

why is it bristol's entry requirements are so open (A*AA-ABB)?

hiiiiiii

I've applied for Economics BA at Sheffield, Nottingham Trent and Manchester Met as my last choice :P
