The title pretty much says it all, now that I'm an official Oxford rejectee I'm struggling to decide which offers to accept... Obviously I'm not going to pick on the basis of this thread, I have visits planned to all three, and have trawled websites thoroughly. But extra info from those with experience is always good! So the three options (in no particular order) are:
1. Bristol - Msci Maths and Philosophy - Offer:ABB
Has the obvious advantage of being the only 4 year course, and is also a very well structured. The furthest from where I live however, and possibly not as prestigous as Warwick? I also have doubts about my ability to settle into a big city, as well as some worries about crime statistics from the area (was assaulted earlier this year and have no intention of repeating the experience).
2. Warwick - Bsc Maths and Philosophy - Offer: Standard One
Possibly the most prestigous of the three and introduces topics like formal logic earlier, but only being 3 years doesn't develop them as far as Bristol. Campus is near Coventry, a place I am not too keen on, and the offer is the hardest.
3. York - Bsc Maths and Philosophy - Offer: ABB (INCLUDING General Studies!)
While maybe the least prestigous of the three I LOVE the city of York, and it is only a hour and a half drive from where I live. The course leans a little more towards breadth rather than depth on the Philosophy side (from what I can see), and again is only 3 years. Offer is so good that this is definitely at least an insurance.
So that is it basically. I intend to accept either Bristol/Warwick as a Firm and York insurance; or York Firm, Leeds Insurance (don't really want to go here...).
So if anybody knows anything about either side of the course, or about any of the places any extra info would be much appreciated. God this post is waay to long...
