Loughborough or Birmingham and why x

Depends on the course and what you want.

Personally, it's logical to pick Bham for many reasons:

1. It's a bigger city. You can explore many aspects of Bham
2. It's a student-friendly city. It has many universities and colleges (that offer uni courses) so it's great way to diversify your friendship groups and a great way to network. There's Bham City, Aston, Uni of, South College and Newman. Ofc, not all these institutions are as big as Uni of, but with it having lots of students, it'd be easier to socialise.
3. Opportunities when it comes to part-time work, and things that can improve your CV. There's a better chance to do this in Bham rather than Long.
4. Transport links in Bham are great. You can go almost anywhere in the UK from Bham via train, plane or coach. It's a great city that provides many opportunities to travel across the UK.
Well what course are you doing and what do you look for in a university?

If you're doing something sport-related or sport is a big part of your life, then go for Loughborough as that is what they excel in, it's a lovely campus but not sure if it's the best for nightlife/shops and that kind of thing if that's something that's important to you - Birmingham definitely better for that as well as transport links

But ultimately it's down to you. When you visited the unis, which did you prefer? Which one is best for your course? It's a very personal decision :smile:
