Computer Science BSc: Edinburgh vs Warwick

Hey everyone,

I would like to know your opinion about which university to choose for CS: Edinburgh or Warwick?

I have got conditional offers from both of them, entry requirements are the same and they are both highly ranked. Besides, the course programmes are quite similar.

So, I really don't know what to choose. I would be very grateful if you share your opinion and experience of studying at any of these two universities.

Do you want to live in a city or a campus?

Well I think I'd better live in the city.

Then probably Edinburgh is a more suitable option?))

Yep
Edinburgh would be my personal choice too. A longer course with more optional study modules (including informatics).

I have also received an offer from Edinburgh, however I was discouraged from the choice as its a 4 year course for a bachelors with no year in industry and **this is purely what I have heard and is probably false** you have to take an additional area of study like English or History in the first year please correct me if I'm wrong which I have no interest in and it seems like a waste of time.

Thanks for your reply.
I will check if this is true because in the case it is, I also have no interest in studying such additional subjects as History or English... 😅
