Struggling to pick firm/insurance choice

So I've had offers from Bath, Warwick and Exeter (conditional on A, A* and A respectively in Maths A level) to study Maths and Physics.

I'm pretty sure I want to put Bath down as my firm choice, however I don't really want to write Warwick off. Is it a really stupid idea to put down a higher grade uni as my insurance?

I would put Warwick first then Bath, but I don't want to miss out on decent accommodation and things like that by having Bath as my insurance choice.

Any advice?

put down bath then you donut. sounds like you're only interested in warwick because its warwick. a certain arrangement of 7 letters shouldn't decide where you spend 3 years. choose an insurance with a lower offer than your firm everytime

Yes, the whole point of an insurance is so that it's lower than your firm.
Having said that, why would you want to miss out on Warwick Maths? o_O

Unless your firm is more specific than your insurance and you could meet the "higher" insurance offer without hitting/exceeding your firm, there is no point in having a higher insurance. Isn't Warwick pretty specific?
