Which Uni for PPE

I go to King's and it is pretty good

How would you compare it to Lse? Since both are in London? It's pretty hard to get into kings, isn't it? Do you live in student accommodations? Are they affordable? London is quite expensive after all🤔

Thank you for that very elaborate answer! It was very helpful! Studying in London would be great but, as you said, it is quite expensive. Royal Leamington spa seems to be a tiny city. Would it be right to assume that it is mostly made up out of students? In that case, surely there is quite a bit going on over there? How important is the prestige of the university in the uk? Would I still find a good job with a degree from, for example, Exeter? It is extremely unimportant in Germany, but I believe that that is different in the uk? Will any of those universities give me enough job opportunities in the future? Currently I think I will apply to Manchester, Edinburgh, Exeter and York. I still have a fifth option, what would you guys recommend for that? I will be able to spend about 1100 Pounds monthly. Can I assume that London is out of my budget? London would be boring if the only thing I can afford is sitting in my dorm and eating toast😅.

If 1100 pounds per month are for food and leisure then you'll get by very comfortably in London. I assume that is the case, because if you need to include accomodation then you won't even be eating a toast!
My daughter is attending University in London. Her monthly expenses vary from 700 to 900, and accomodation was 281 per week for 1st year that she was in Uni halls and now is 1180 per month. She is in a 3 bedroom/2 bathroom townhouse in Earl's Court.

Why would you not like Oxford OP?

Unless it is a top university you are better off studying something more practical

I'm not sure how comfortable I would feel in the city. It seems like most other students are not quite in the same social circle. It doesn't matter though, since I would have needed to apply to that 10 days ago.

Ignore the stereotypes. Oxford is no socially different to UCL. If you want to avoid social class issues however, avoid England.

I would recommend that you don't apply to a uni in London. LSE, UCL and King's are all very demanding Unis and if you have to work also, your grades may suffer. And you won't enjoy your time there.

I really do recommend Durham. I only spend about £80-£150 per month (excluding rent, which is also very cheap) and all the PPE students I know are very happy with their course

Also, all three subjects are in the top 10 in the country.

😮😮😮 Hey, I don't mean to question that, but how can this be possible? What are you eating everyday? Food and groceries are not cheap in the UK. And obviously you need to have a social life. Don't you go out for a cup of coffee or drinks with your friends at least once a week? I am not familiar with Durham, but I have 2 kids in Uni. One is in London, as I mentioned earlier, and one is in Leeds. I went there myself to help them get settled in the beggining of their courses. The supermarket groceries are at least 35 pounds per week, and that is if you plan well and get some meat/fish on offer. Assuming you are not vegeterian of course. So, coffees and drinks and a couple of dinners out per month will be at least 100-150 pounds per month. I have never heard of anyone go by with less than 300 pounds per month. And we also have a lot of friends that their kids are in Uni ( i.e. Edinburgh, Reading, Sheffield, Surrey, Nottingham,) and usually their monthly expenses are about 500-700 pounds per month depending on their parents' financial situation of course. Naturally, there are also other students, like my daughter's friends in London that spend 1000-2000 pounds per month just for nightlife and clothing! But that's a different story...
