Hi guys, hope your New Year is getting off to a good start!
I've applied to read English Literature at university. So far, I've received offers from Royal Holloway, Birkbeck and the University of Surrey.
I'm torn as to which one I should choose. Royal Holloway and Birkbeck have solid reputations for the humanities, especially English. However, Surrey has the only English Lit degree in the UK that gives the option to spend a year in industry - a valuable bit of experience. It was also ranked as the 4th best university overall in the Guardian 2017 league tables. I live fairly close to all of them so accommodation won't be a problem. I don't really care about the nightlife, so please try to base your advice on academic reputation, ect.
After my degree, I intend to take the GDL (Graduate Diploma in Law) and train as a solicitor.
What would you do if you were in my situation?
