Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

Durham / Edinburgh / SOAS ?

Hi all,

Ive been so indecisive to choose university for MA course in 2011. :confused:

I applied above uni, and got an offer for culture / media related programme.

Id like to live in London, because I am a lot used to live here, but reputation of uni and my interests is also significant.

Actually Ive never lived in Durham or Edinburgh! :tongue:

well, would you guys give me some clues on this matter?
it would definately help me out!

oh, if you are a student from those universities, pls let me know the pros and cons of your school. I would appreciate so much.

Thank you all. :smile:

I don't really have much advice to offer you, I am in a similar situation: choosing between SOAS, Edinburgh University and then Lund University (Sweden).

I don't think you should base your choice on where you are used to live, because it is a great experience to live somewhere else and it also looks good to future employers. Besides, it is only for a year.

Have you had a chance to visit all universities?

They're all good; visit them. I'm Scottish and I know you'd have a great time in Edinburgh but all 3 are great unis. Visit them and see which city grabs you... Do remember than Durham and Edinburgh are much cheaper to live in than London.
