Brunel or Nottingham Trent?

Hey,

I feel as if I can (kind of) speak with authority on this, as I started going to Brunel in September, but ended up leaving and am going to NTU in September of this year.

I feel this decision largely rests on how highly you rate the importance of the social aspect of uni. The reason I left Brunel is that it is EXTREMELY boring. Uxbridge has 1 ridiculously expensive and not very good club, Liquid, and there's an even worse but admittedly cheaper club, Academy, on campus. There aren't many good pubs either, the SU is pretty bad, and it's overall pretty depressing (and expensive) when it comes to actually doing anything. On the other hand, Nottingham is one of the liveliest cities in the UK, with some of the best nightlife.

That said, academically, it probably shades Trent on most subjects, so if purely academics are your thing, I'd go for Brunel.

Hope that helped even slightly!

Trent is the one that I sway most towards I reckon but the only thing that prevents me from confirming that as my choice is that Brunel is a London university and to study Journalism in London would be perfect, however the accommodation, nightlife etc all looks better at Trent. I just struggle to make my decision of where I'm going to be happiest.
