So I've got to choose my firm University offer for University soon, but I'm facing a major dilemma.I have the full intention of becoming a Corporate Lawyer in the future (Hopefully in a magic circle firm). All my life I've worked towards becoming a Lawyer. For example,I've attended several court hearings in central London (Old bailey, Royal courts of Justice).Recently, the University of Nottingham reject my Law application due to my LNAT score but they want me at the university, so they offered me an unconditional place on the History and Politics course. I'm considering taking this offer and completing the GDL after assuming I secure a trainee contract. I have every intention in maintaining my interest in the Legal career during my History and Politics course. However, my parents are encouraging me to take the conditional offer Leeds University has made to me.
The problem is I feel that Nottingham is better suited for me and I'm really afraid that I'd get to Leed and I'd feel out of place. I can't stand the thought of being depressed for 3 years.
I would like to know whether I should attend the Uni I KNOW I'd be comfortable in while doing a course which I enjoy but doesn't secure my career or risk going to a Uni I don't enjoy and doing Law (Which I might not enjoy). I'm aware that the study of Law and the Practice of Law can be very different
