Which University????

Literally just want some opinions- which university out of the following would you personally go to?

University of Leeds
-Classical Literature and Philosophy

University of Lincoln
-Classical Studies

University of Edinburgh
-Classics and English Literature

University of Manchester
-English Literature and History

University of Nottingham
-Classics and English

Personally, I'd say Edinburgh is the most highly respected on your list as it has a very good international reputation which the other four lack.

Personally I would say Edinburgh, looks really nice and is probably the highest regarded , although you should probably take a close look at the courses available as they will likely vary at least to some extent

Do you have offers for all of these universities? Which course do you actually want to do - "English Literature and History" does not equate to "Classics", or even necessarily "Classical Studies" (which in turn isn't the same as classics, the key difference being not studying the classical languages).

If you're interested in a broad range of ancient and medieval languages, the Nottingham course may be appealing since they have strengths in medieval studies and old English as well as it being classics course of course(which will typically have study of the languages included). This gives you quite a range of periods to study history/culture/literature and options to study related languages to Latin (old/middle English and old Norse).

The Edinburgh course will probably include the same classical language study as the Nottingham one, and may have options for other ancient or medieval languages (such as Celtic languages). The ancient universities tend to have a wider range of options for such courses as it's in their "tradition". Additionally, being an ancient Scottish university, their course structure is much more flexible than most other degrees and will allow you to pursue other interests, possibly very different ones, in the early part of the course.

Obviously if you have an interest in philosophy or modern history as well as potentially ancient history (depending on the structure of the course) then the obvious options are Leeds or Manchester, respectively, as they're the only courses that explicitly offer it. That said, ancient history and/or philosophy are common components or options of classics or classical studies courses (but you may cover a broader range, and notably modern history, in those courses).

If you aren't interested in learning the classical languages or modern history/wider philosophy options, then the Lincoln course may suit. However it's quite possible you may be able to craft such a course structure from several of the other options.

I've looked at all the courses, I know the course content, that isn't what I'm asking.

Have you? They're completely different. Someone who knows what they want to study won't be asking which of those to go to, because half of them are irrelevant to a given interest and thus can be immediately ruled out.

If you only care about chasing prestige and don't care one jot what you're studying then go to Edinburgh, as it's the most "prestigious" (a dubious qualifier at best, and meaningless at worst) of the options. It's also easier to move between courses there due to the flexible structure (and/or try and pick "easy" options to fluff up your classification).

Your best shot at getting an insight into what it’s really like is asking some current students from each of the unis. Good luck
