Psychology with language or sports science?

Hello everyone! I am really struggling to choose between two courses from two different unis. I hope you guys can offer me some advice!

I have recently entered Psychology with sports and exercise science by University of Exeter as my clearing choice and Exeter has always been my first choice. However, I recently received an email from University of Reading stating that they can offer me a place in their Language Sciences and Psychology course.

I’ve always liked biology and linguistics, so both courses are very appealing to me. I know that in terms of uni ranking, Exeter ranks higher than Reading. Locational wise, Reading is much preferred as my younger sister is also studying in Reading atm. My parents think that studying the language sciences and psychology course will offer more job opportunities in the future (they wanted me to go for speech and language therapy at first but I couldn’t meet the requirements lol).

I really hope you guys can offer me any advice from any aspects you like! Thank you so much!

It really doesn't matter where your sister goes, or what your parents think. It certainly doesn't matter which course anyone here likes best as they aren't you and won't have the same priorities/goals. They don't have to spend 3 years at that university studying this course. You say that Exeter was always your first choice - that's what matters.
