Hi. I've received conditional offers for both Bath and Bristol for mechanical engineering. Anyone who has studied in either one of these unis can give me a general idea of the quality of teaching, learning environment, facilities, social life and so on?
I'm just a bit worried because I heard both Bath and Bristol are really good engineering unis and I don't know which to choose. Also, according to one of my seniors in UCL, although the entry requirement for mech eng (which is the same as Bath and Bristol) is high (A*AA), he said he didn't really like it and that UCL wasn't really good for engineering, so I don't want the same thing to happen when I'm choosing these two unis.
Besides, I learnt that Bath is a tourist attraction place, so will the cost of living be higher than that of Bristol? And it is quite small too, so I'm afraid that it might be boring after a while at Bath...
