well, sort of confused as someone said the ME of Loughborough is also quite good. So, dears, please give me some hints which offer is better.

Well it depends what are u going to study Loughboroughs engineering school is one of the very best in UK thats a fact.
Plus which course structure u like most if any of them is offering sandwich programme will u prefer it in case if both r offering then u should look for course contents which u like most.
i also applied to bath but they rejected me :frown: for my degree both unis r offering excellent modules n both r offering sandwich programmes if both bath n lboro have accepted me i would have gone for Bath simply coz of its better reputation not the overall uni but of business school.
so look for these things which uni has better rep for ur course plus the course contents, sandwich proramme n ofcourse to alot of students place n night life thing matter too but i guess both Bath n lboro r small town so nothing much to compare. and most imp of all where you'll be more comfortable.
