I really can't pick between Durham and Bristol!! It's coming up on the student finance deadline (21st May I think) so im getting stressed but I really can't pick and need some advice.
I've visited both and although they are quite different I do like both of them.
COURSE:
Durham=Natural sciences, means I have a wide range of modules to choose from, would probs do Bio/Maths (can only do 1st year
)/chem possibly with a language as well. I like the modules, and it's a prestigious uni so the teaching should be good right?
Bristol= Physiological science, basically biological/biomedical sciences, i'm not so interested in medical stuff but there is a range of modules ie biochem/chemistry and maths in 1st year and a chance to study psychology which is interesting (also a language in 2nd year). does anyone know if the course is very medical-based?? cause idk. the course offers less biology stuff ie genetics but idk if the addition of psychology makes up for that, which i wouldn't do at durham.
so the courses are pretty similar
CITIES:
Bristol seems to be a livelier city with lots to do, i don't know which halls to apply for though, as stoke bishop looks good but is far away from the centre. Durham does have nice pubs and shops and things, is a little quieter but i like that everything is in walking distance, and my college (St Cuth's) is in a good location. (im a bit scared of the tories there though lmao)
Bristol is also closer to home/my boyfriend (goes to UWE), which I know isn't everything but it is nice. Durham is 5/6 hours away but it's not a terrible journey, just a bit long.
IM SO STUCK!! they're similar rankings, Durham is probs higher overall but Bristol is well known for science so I can't even go off of that.
help please!!!
