Which one do you think is better, I know this is the York board, I got it as my insurance and just want people's opinions

I held offers to both. I chose York.

Warwick's campus was nice enough, but if you compare the difference between the city of York and the city of Coventry.. well..

I chose Warwick as firm and York as insurance. Therefore Warwick must be better! :biggrin:

Nah... actually I chose Warwick because I have visited the campus, but haven't got the opportunity to visit York. Also, Warwick is a little closer to London. And yeah... Warwick kind of beats York in the league tables, but the difference is infinitessimal (however that's spelt... :redface:

Listen to you man Tonight Matthew:

York City is close and beautiful, Coventry is a concrete jungle.

I had offers from both (same grades) and chose York - for reasons as above! York is a better city.

If you're really into your sport though, you might want to chose Warwick.

I visited both and vastly preferred the Warwick maths department though I acknowledge York is also nice.

I didn't even apply to Warwick because I didn't really like the place, nothing against the uni though, it is obviously very good.

I meant to say "Listen to your man, Tonight Matthew" As in agreeing with you like an urban american dialect.

I really liked York from the prospectus - but then went to Warwick and fell totally totally in love with it. So vibrant - and really my kinda place
York.... there were mitigating circumstances but i REALLY didn't like it when i went :frown:

York and Warwick have great reputations so well done for getting offers from both. Basically I think it really depends on the details of your course and the individual departments. Eg. If I was investigating English departments I'd go for York over Warwick. You can't lose wherever you eventually study.

I'd say Warwick has a better arts programme and the students at York are terrible drunks: they throw stuff at your window (speaking from experience here).

i chose york because the decision was made for me, since warwick rejected me, (i was interviewed for both.) But on reflection, the course at york and the city itself suited me more anyway. I did like the Arts centre @ warwick, but the campus was a bit too concreaty and spaced out.

and they're not all drunks @ york!

I got offers from both, and rejected both in favour of Edinburgh! However, before Edinburgh's offer came through I'd decided that Warwick would be my first choice. I loved the history course and the campus had a great atmosphere when I visited, unlike York. It seemed to be my kind of place. I liked the strong drama scene, the 'arty' vibe (courtesy of the Arts Centre I guess!) and general happy buzz. Architecturally it isn't as nice/interesting as York (my opinion only!) but I just 'clicked' with it more.

But I agree that the city of York is definitely much nicer than Coventry - though don't forget that Leamington Spa is very close. Warwick's location is what ultimately made me choose Edinburgh. Plus York has all those lovely ducks! :smile:

Oh yes, Leamington Spa, that cultural / historical metropolis..

Oi Mr Sarcasm. Leamington Spa's a gorgeous little town, and it's got plenty of history. I was just expressing an opinion.

York isn't exactly London either. Don't be so snarky.
