Buckigham vs UCLan

I've got offers for the medicine program from Buckingham university and UCLan. I'm conflicted in choosing between them tho. Which is a better choice, considering all aspects of the unis?

This has to be a personal decision. Which do you prefer more? Medical school is a long slog, so think seriously about which place would be better for you to live in, commute around etc.

I haven’t made a final decision yet but I’m leaning more towards Buckingham univeristy. They have smaller class sizes, which I prefer, it’s closer to big cities, and I like their placement structure more too.

Class size, teaching methods, methods of assessment and location are all important factors to consider.

Buckingham is a shorter course - although its a small town you are near MK and Oxford. Any specific questions on the area?

No, it's further north so will be colder and wetter ... never been there though.

Any idea on how facilities differ in the two?

Preston is an industrialised town, much bigger than Buckingham - what sort of facilities?
