So I went through clearing and managed to get offers from both UWL and Roehampton for their Psychology BSc Hons 3 year courses, which is great, but I've been struggling to make a decision as to which one I should choose. I've considered factors like distance, student life, city life, ranking on league tables (crossreferenced Guardian with CUG) and content in modules, but I'm still a bit stumped. So far I've put it as;
distance - Roehampton (average 40 mins from me/1 bus journey or switching one train, as opposed to switching several trains to get to UWL)
student life - Roehampton (their Colleges system is quite familiar with the Houses system I've been used to in secondary + primary school and they have a lot of societes/extracurriculars I found interest in)
city life - UWL (i'm not as familiar with the West London area as I am the SW London area, but judging by the number of parks and the Theatre nearby I figure it'll be more interesting)
ranking - UWL (from 2018-2020 it was consistently above Roehampton in the Guardian table, and overtook Roehampton in 2020)
module content - seems to be a tie for me, since their content is similar up until the last year, where i don't really feel swayed either side...
has anyone got any other factors I should consider or could help me with making the decision? my family haven't been able to give much advice about what I should do, saying 'do what you want' or 'go Roehampton, it's closer', but it feels like I need to consider more..
