Durham or Manchester for Medicine?

Thought about the course structure? Don't know what Durham does but Manchester is PBL as you probably know anyway and rankings count for nothing

Manchester is live

Durham ofc.

I need some advice as i'm very confused over what to do. I've had interviews for medicine at Glasgow, Manchester and Durham and although i havent had replies yet i want to get an idea of which one would be my firm or insurance etc. should i get any offers. Glasgow will definitely be my insurance because it is AAB however Durham and Manchester are both AAA and i cant decide which one i would favour over the other if i were lucky enough to get offers from both. Here is how i feel about both:

Durham - Ranked 4th in the country for medicine and i liked the structure of the course more therefore academically i'd say this one is better however i dont like the fact that you have to move over to newcastle after a couple of years to finish the course and when walking around durham it seems like a really small place with very little to do there and i worry that the sort of students it attracts is those that arent too interested in clubbing etc. which is the opposite to me.

Manchester - I liked the course (though not as much as Durham) and i also like the fact that the city is big and lively. The course has more people on it by around 200 extra which i like because i can meet more people etc. I also like the fact that it is so close to a variety of hospitals especially Manchester Children's Hospital because i think paediatrics is something i would love to do.

I doubt i will get offers from both however i want to have a bit more of an idea on which ones i prefer most as i am very confused at the moment so any advice would be greatly appreciated (sorry for this essay)

Any reasons?

A guy that wants to do paediatrics? Gay.

"Located on a dramatic peninsula overlooking the River Wear, Durham’s unique Norman cathedral and castle form a designated World Heritage Site. Against this backdrop visitors can enjoy acres of tranquil woodland and peaceful parkland, as well as the beautiful River Wear as it winds its way through the City. Other attractions include the University’s Botanic Garden and Oriental Museum, and the pleasant parkland course at the nearby Mount Oswald Golf Course. And when it’s time to relax Durham can offer a unique array of excellent cafes, bars and restaurants.

Durham's location in the heart of the North East means great cities and stunning countryside are only a short distance away. Why not visit cosmopolitan Newcastle Upon Tyne or historic York? Or enjoy the splendours of the North Yorkshire Moors or Durham Dales?

Whatever your needs, Event Durham can offer a truly unrivalled setting for an unforgettable event. "

Gay? Surely that'd be a guy wanting to do urology?

If you liked the course of Durham but you wanted a more lively environment, why didn't you apply to Newcastle?
