Newcastle Flying Start, Warwick or Leeds? (Accounting/Finance)

I have offers for: Newcastle's Flying Start (AAB), Warwick's BSc Accounting & Finance (AAA), and Leeds' BSc Accounting & Finance (AAA). I got rejected from Bath for A/F, but they gave me an offer for BSc Economics (with or without placement year is up to me) (A*AA) instead.

I think I'm still more interested in A/F, so I'm probably going to reject Bath. But between Warwick, Leeds and Newcastle, which would you suggest I firm? :frown: The requirements shouldn't be a problem -- I'm predicted A*AAa.

I'm conflicted because I like how the Flying Start involves 12 ACA exemptions and guaranteed PwC placements in years 2, 3 & 4. But Warwick & Leeds have better rankings... Warwick only offers a placement year to "successful candidates", whereas Leeds has an optional placement year. Both have 8 ACA exemptions.

Thoughts? :frown:

Some people say work experience is more important, others say uni reputation is more important... and yet others say they're both equally important. So I'm very conflicted. :frown: Especially because I'm going into A/F, which is a very competitive industry. D':

Thank you so much for your input.
Choose between Leeds and Warwick , Warwick is more reputable speaking of business school, but it's located in nowhere, LUBS is also a prestigious business school,and has a much better night life, they are both triple accredited ,so up to you ,what do you expect out of the three years at uni? What kind of life do you want after uni? make the decision yourself.
