You know the answer to this. It's blatently Warwick, although Bath's catching up.
You're not gonna learn much by posting this question on a Warwick/Bath/Bristol forum, it's all going to be buyest opinion. Post this question in the economics forum.

Good Idea:smile:
I don't go to either (yet) and have visited both. Warwick is nice (apart from it not being in warwick). Bristol on the other hand is not nice. My general feeling was it had relied on the fact it is a good uni for far too long, hadn't invested and is now a bad uni. Maths department was terrible (soo was physics but that won't concern u). There stopping tutorials for the fist time next year (that for maths and phys not sure about eco). The student union was pritty poor (a building attached to a public swimming pool) and when we went to a meeting there we were told there are better rooms for meeting (as this one was terribly cramped hot and old) though I never saw one. Although this is all true town centre is nice and it is a campus uni but genrally I got the feeling it was relying on the fact it is good for offers rather than trying to impress u to go there. Everyone who I went with hated it (none of the 10 of us applied) however I have spoken to other people who did like it. Been to Bristol, Liester, Imperial, Ox&Cam, Nottingham, Southampton, Sheffield, Warwick and Bath and Bristol was in bottom two.

Sorry rant over but if you are going to put Bristol go there first.:p:

Wow thanks a lot for the heads up.

My head of year and Economics teacher said exactly the same thing, that they've become a uni who really on their reputation too much.

After what everyone's said, it's definitely gonna be Warwick.

My Russian teacher did her PhD at Bristol and really enjoyed it, but I just have all these negative associations with the word Bristol in my head now :s-smilie:
