Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

Manchester Vs Nottingham

I have an offer from both universities but I'm not sure which one to go for.

In terms of the departments, facilities and most importantly career prospects and employability which one do you think is best?

No one can make this decision but you.

I graduated from Manchester this summer and whilst I never did Chemistry, there's so many people around that from a social side of things, you're almost guaranteed to have a good time just through the sheer number of people around.

It's a good university with a good rep and an even better international rep. Employers tend to like Manchester graduates and have a favourable opinion of them for those looking to go into high salary occupations - finance, law, management schemes and engineering.

Also a good base for a postgrad course at Ox/Camb

Honestly I'd say the departments are pretty equal, if I were you I'd be tempted to chose more on the city/uni life in general - I guess Manchester would have the edge then.
