Nottingham or Loughborough?

What course? What career ambitions?

I really don't know which university I want to go to between these two. They're both similar in terms of ranking and they're both really close to each other so the quality of the uni and the distance aren't the problems for me. Which one do you guys think is better? Has anyone been to both open days and preferred one over the other, if so why?

Do you have offers from both?

Have *you* visited both - your own opinion is more relevant than strangers...

And, most importantly, you don't have to choose until May next year. There is no rush.

I have an offer from Loughborough and I think I could get one from nottingham considering they're the same entry requirement for psychology. And the problem is I haven't been to any open days for these unis! Only recently I decided to apply for these unis but it was too late to visit the open days

For one, Loughborough isn't a Russel Group Uni, whilst Nottingham is, so that's definitely something you might want to consider

No it's not definitely worth considering... Universities that are part of the Russell Group are only in there because they research science and have some kind of STEM centre. If not science, in general they are research intensive universities (meaning the lecturers care more about their own research than your studies).

It barely makes any difference.

Russell Group unis are all high in the university league tables but I agree that it probably makes no difference. You might be more likely to be employed though and most Russel Group unis have high teaching standards. It depends if you're doing a science type subject or not.
