Soas Or Leeds??

PEOPLE PLEASE I NEED UR ADVICE!

I am in a big dilemma! I have been looking forward to coming to Leeds since I got offered a place to do my MA in International Studies Sept 05. I have accepted the offer and even applied for residence at Leodis: Although I had other offers from MDX, Westminster, Sheffield, I totally forgot that I had even applied to SOAS and KINGS. Well, today I got a letter from SOAS with an offer to study MA in International Studies and Diplomacy, which to me is a very promising course since it will help me fulfill my dream of becoming a diplomat and the fact that it is a very prestigious school is also a determining factor for me, but (yes there is a but) my heart has been set on Leeds because of all the nice things I have heard from people there! I really want a respectable Degree but at the same time I want to have fun and I know in my heart that I will have that fun in Leeds!
please help, what do I do? If you were me, what would you do?? :dontknow:

I got an offer from SOAS too but I had to turn it down. Personally, Id go for SOAS. I love the place , its small unique and its specialization on Asia and Africa is unrivalled anywhere in the UK.

Fun, you will definitely have that at Soas. Nice uni bar, UCL next door and right in the middle of London. Its 5 mins from Oxford cirucs. Its location is one of the best in London. It tends to have a lot of students who are anti-west but apart from that cant fault it. I dont know enough about the courses to say if its better than Leeds but I would choose SOAS.
