Bristol, Bristol and Bristol again :p:
I know league tables aren't always 100% accurate, but Bristol is #7 in the Times table, Kent is 34 and Plymouth is 55. Also the Bristol nightlife is brilliant, has a great live music scene, and is a very nice city.

Apply to all three, you get 6 choices on your UCAS form! Personally I'd pick Bristol, nearly went there :p:

I'm guessing that as you're from Greece, you won't have visited them? It really is a very personal choice, the perfect Uni for one person isn't the same as for another. Have you looked at course content, places to live, employment propects? What sort of area do you want to be in? I don't know anything about Kent but Bristol is a very lively city and Plymouth is on the coast, so very different.

Plymouth is not a campus university and has no sence of community spirit in my opinion, I felt lost there on the open day and I live in Plymouth!
I was going to go to Kent uni open day but didnt, but Kent is in the country and is quite a decent university.

Although Bristol doesnt have a campus, it is very green, and virtually every building in the area is owned by the university so its quite cool. :smile:

Kent is a Gorgeous campus as is Bristol lol!

No way is Plymouth a campus uni, its in the middle of the city lol.

Campus unis are places that have their own designated areas like Oxbridge, York, Durham, Reading etc...

Erm, Oxbridge and Durham are definitely not campus universities - they are collegiate and are spread across cities!
