PPE - Durham vs. the LSE?

I'm sure there are quite a few, like me, holding offers from both and trying to decide - thoughts?
LSE definitely
Don't know much about the Durham course; but I guess LSE being 4 years is a pretty big deal. The obvious con is that an UG degree takes a year longer. The obvious pro is that you will have more knowledge. (LSE management have actually been pretty snooty about this, they've always said that the reason they never previously offered PPE was that 3 years is insufficient to gain graduate level expertise in all 3 [or even 2] of the disciplines, which is why they're offering it in 4 years instead).

The other big consideration is do you want to study at a Campus Uni in a rural area or in the middle of one of the world's busiest cities? Again, personal consideration really.

If you have any specific questions about LSE hit me up, Im a current student (tho obvs not in PPE as it's a new course for this year)
