Durham or UCL for LLM in law ?

Hello people ! I'm new here and I desperately need an advice from u guys here.

I am an international student from Thailand which I got a LLB law degree there. I got an offer for LLM law course from Warwick, Bristol, SOAS, Durham and UCL. I cut down the choice to only Durham and UCL. Now I'm so blank that I can't choose whether to go to Durham or UCL.

So I need an advice about where should I go for my LLM study and what are the pros and cons of those universities.

Any advice on this matter would be much grateful.

If you want to live in England once you've finished studying you'll probably end up in London, so by going to Durham you'd get a different set of experiences to the ones you'll have later. It is much much cheaper and I have been told there is more of a community than you would get at a London university, because London is such a big place whereas in Durham everyone tends to go to the same clubs and bars etc.

However, I think UCL has a better reputation than Durham in most subjects now. There are museums a libraries and all that stuff in London and you get a very different mix of people. If you were going out in the evening you'd meet more non-students and a wider variety of people than you would at Durham.
