I'm torn between picking Nottingham or UEA for my course and would really appreciate any insight you guys might have.
Nottingham - 36 IB points
--> lovely campus, it's in the russel group, prestige, in a nice town
UEA - 34 IB points
--> ugly campus, not in the russel group, very well known for its course, I like the course better than Nottingham's one
A big deciding factor for me is prestige tbh. I was wondering if you guys have insight especially into which school is better for creative writing. My English teacher acts like UEA is the be all and end all for creative writing courses... like, if you get an offer from there you don't turn it down - is this true?
I definitely like the course better at UEA, but I'm worried that it's not as prestigious as Nottingham and thus I'm closing doors by going there. There's also no doubt that Nottingham is way prettier, and I may just have a nicer time there in general... please tell me what you think because I'm really at a loss for what to do after talking to my parents, brother, and college councilor!
Last thing is, I also got accepted to Manchester, but I haven't been able to visit. Do you think there's any point considering it?
