Leeds or Sheffield for Politics?

I'm not sure which one to use for my insurance. I think Sheffield is probably the better university, but Leeds is by no means bad, and they only gave me an offer of BB, which is very tempting. I went to them both a while ago, and they both seemed decent places to live.

Any thoughts?

I too have applied for Politics and have an offer from Sheffield. Sheffield's Politics department is definetly beter that Leeds', and like me your offer from Sheffield is probably BBB. If I were you I would definetly go for Sheffield, what is your first choice?

Yeah, I have a BBB offer from Sheffield.

My first choice is Nottingham, who want ABB. I should get AAA/AAB, but I'm the paranoid sort of person who always thinks I might fail, which is why the Leeds offer is so tempting.

they cannot let you in due to numbers

would leeds be such a good insurance place? ive applied there for history and from the sounds of things they are heavily over subscribed for most courses. therefore they might have enough 1st choice applicants to cover the whole course.

not trying to be dour but if you need to go with your 2nd choice and they cannot let you in due to numbers i know i would be seriously pissed

Go with Sheffield, go on, go do it, go do it now.

I was pretty sure that if you put them as insurance and and you got the grades then they legally had to let you in.

But I'll check, just to be sure.

ok the leeds history admissions tutor was talking bullshit...he was a weirdo anyway

I'd go for Leeds.

Any reason why? Because you're the only person who's said that so far

I didn't mean to go against the grain on purpose!
