Okay, so I've gotten almost all my offers back. King's College hasn't responded yet, but it doesn't matter since I'm not too keen on going there. I'm looking to firm either UCL or SOAS, but can't decide which one. They're both essentially right beside each other in terms of location. Here are the pros of each university (if it helps...):
UCL (A*AA):
- Pretty much one of the best universities in the world and London
- Brilliant connections and career prospectus
- I'd basically be set for the future (providing I get a minimum 2:1)
- Two of my friends already go there (to study Medicine and English Lit)
- Beautiful campus
SOAS (AAA):
- Again, a good university for Law (although, not as prestigious as UCL)
- Good connections with Magic Circle firms (recently, there were 6 students from SOAS that got a training contract from Clifford Chance)
- Means I can get the opportunity to specialise in international units, something not provided by other universities. Thus, will allow me to stand out for future - particularly when applying for a training contract.
- Opportunity to learn a new language alongside my degree
- It's a significantly smaller university, and I feel as though I'd 'fit in' better.
I'll edit and add stuff on if I've forgotten any main points.
Much appreciated.
