uni dilema

Hey, so I got an offer of AAB from city university to study economics, however people say it isn't a great uni, can i please get feedback from other people applying to this uni or people who are currently at this university on whether it is good ACADEMICALLY and SOCIALLY. I also applied for Queen Mary's, Brunel, Essex and RHUL. Can someone please rank theses schools for me with the same 2 criteria mentioned above.

thanks.

Depends whether you want to live in London, and whether you get extra student finance to live in London . There is a lot to do in London . But it also depends whether you can get affordable student accommodation - I've heard City uni halls can be expensive
Cass business schools is like one of the top business schools in the country after Warwivk etc.

Yes I'd love to continue living in central London but my another concern would be travelling to Uxbridge ( Brunel) & Egham (RHUL)

Because they bitter they didn't get into lse?
Idk. Every school has mixed reviews. They're all the same.

I'm a current cass student.

FYI, Economics at City =/= Cass

Cass Business School doesn't offer that course, it will be taught by City University.

go to open days to help you decide, email current students and also see the national student surveys. Also check out the local area, and think of transport costs. City is good, so is Queen Mary, its a Russell group

is it too late since i've been accepted by city already, and I thought cass was a department within city so what difference is there?
Queen Marys is definitely the best of your choices. I heard City was really really bad.

None of them are known for being social but you'll probably end up making friends regardless of where you go
