I did edexcel geog and essentially it is a pretty easy A level and yet remains fairly well respected. People at uni laugh when they hear i took geog but that is because people know it's a bit easy. Media studies isn't really a respected subject at alevel so i'd avoid it like the plague if it were me. But i guess that depends what you're planning for after your a levels.

Hello, I did Edexcel A Level Geography and I'm doing Physical Geography at a Russell League uni. What I'd say straight away is that it's your choice - I won't tell you what to study. I trust you've looked at the specifications for both subjects, but I definetely recommend geography. It's more respected, it's seen as a science in most unis, the field trips are miles better, the material you'll learn in geography won't be all interesting, but there are some topics that are incredibly interesting. Furthermore, it's so relevant! It's not just looking at rocks but looking at poverty, climate, food scarcity, disease, deserts etc.etc.etc... Hope that helped, good luck with your decision!
