Bristol vs Lancaster for Physics insurance

Thinking of Birmingham firm (A*AA) and then Lancaster (AAA) or Bristol (A*AA but would be AAB with contextual offer) for insurance. Lancaster is much closer to home and smaller city whilst Bristol is very far but is a big city. What are your opinions of either university, city and physics department?

Also incase you didn't know Lancaster offer pretty big scholarships if you get really good A-Level grades

But then if I got A*AA or higher I would go to Birmingham

I don’t know much about Lancaster but Bristol seems really good, I was there yesterday for an open day and they’ve done a lot of improvements and got new building and labs for a lots of the science subjects over the last few years and they look amazing, I spent most of my time in the biological science and geology buildings but they generally have some of the best in research using their facilities and teaching there, the campus is really spread out and mixed in with the city, have you been to any open days? It really helped me figure out where I wanted to go and Bristol is definitely my firm choice

Yeah I've been to open days at both. I loved the physics department and campus at Bristol, however I don't know if I'd rather not be in the middle of a big city as I live in a small town. Lancaster uni is about 2 miles from the smaller city but has a few shops on campus. All first year accommodation is so close to the campus whereas in Bristol some are quite far. Did you visit the stoke's bishop accommodation in Bristol yesterday? I didn't have time to go when I went there

I didn’t manage to get to see any accommodation my mum struggled with walking due to the hills and uneven pathways

Ok no problem. I thought the Clifton accommodation was nice (old but fairly big rooms). Goldney hall had a massive garden which is unusual! These were about 10 mins walk to city centre, would definitely recommend these although I think they may be more expensive. However I didn't like the accommodation in the city centre as the rooms and corridors were quite small and stuffy.

Yeah I wouldn’t go for accommodation in the city centre I’d prefer somewhere a bit quieter, thanks for the recommendation I’ll check them out on the website
