Hi I have conditional offers to study pharmacy at bath and cardiff uni. I applied last year but missed out on my grades but I have been given offers for this year of AAB and at the moment I now have ABB so I am resitting a couple of exams in the summer. Last year I firmed bath and put cardiff as my insurance.
So it's this time of year again and I was going to automatically firm bath but I'm not so sure now. Cardiff is closer home than bath is (1 hour vs 1.5 hours by train) also I have a fair few friends already in Cardiff, now it's not that I'm worried about making friends at uni but its nice to know that I have friends already living there as we speak.
But the course at bath seems slightly better, yet I have been looking at uni stats etc and cardiff seem to be coming up (slightly) ahead of bath. I don't really care too much about rankings but it comes down to campus uni (bath) vs city living(Cardiff) and what I prefer... But I have no idea what I would prefer! I love the thought of stepping out my front door and being in the centre of everything. But with bath everything is more compacted and with my course being quite full on, I don't want to be spending all my free time walking REALLY far (that's what I think cardiff might be like but in reality it'll be like that in bath too after the first year and I move off campus.)
I just need a bit of advice...if any of you go to bath or cardiff, share some thoughts with me? Even better if you do pharmacy here too!
Thanks x
