South bank or City

Hi,

So I received and unconditional offer from South Bank university to study law, and a conditional offer from City for law. On every comparison website, south bank is overall better than city. However, apparently city has a better reputation.

I’m really stuck and don’t know what I should do, can someone help me?

Thank you!

So I’ve looked at the Guardian, the complete university guide and I’ve looked at unistats

Yeah I’ve looked at those and south bank is better. But I don’t know which one to go to as city has a better reputation apparently.

Literally all aspects, employability, student satisfaction, the teaching.

I also think City has a better reputation for Law and if LSB are making unconditional offers to people without A levels or high A level grade predictions, that tells you they are not very competitive. Having said that, I doubt it would make a lot of difference which one you go to.

Have you visited them both?

See I have visited both and I have pros and cons for both of them. I also think that their isn’t much difference which one I got too. In addition to this, I saw on another thread that city’s reputation is very good for post grad and undergrads didn’t really matter.

It seems that you would be better off going to City @Ferhatak1 but the unconditional offer is drawing you to LSB. However, you would need decent grades anyway to have much chance of making it as a solicitor.

Is it possible to Firm City and Insure LSB?
