Exeter vs Cardiff vs Newcastle!!

So i’m applying for biomedical sciences and i’ve got offers for these unis at around the same grades (ABB-AAB). I haven’t visited any of them before, so if anyone has any experience of what uni is like there please let me know!

Some examples- social life, the quality of the course, typical class sizes, general chav density of the area
Will you be able to visit?

"chav density" :biggrin: - you won't see that on any league table! You need to visit to assess it for yourself OP!
I dont know anything about chav density but here is my take for what it is worth. Exeter is a lovely beautiful campus university on the edge of the city. I assume that you are going to be studying in Exeter not Penryn. It is a smaller city but has a nice shopping area but it wont offer what Cardiff and I suspect Newcastle will offer. Cardiff is a much bigger city and offers everything a large city does in terms of shops, nightclubs, sporting facilities, concerts etc. The campus is bout 5 minutes walk to the centre. Its big drawback is that its accommodation is not on campus like Exeter's is. Newcastle I dont know about. It has a good reputation for nightlife, is between the size of Cardiff and Exeter but I doubt it will offer things like concerts to the same extent Cardiff does. I believe it is a city centre campus. It is highly unlikely anyone on here will be able to compare all 3 in detail. As has already been said go on visit days to each and come to your own conclusion based on your own preference.
