Roehampton vs Chester vs Hertfordshire

I'm having trouble choosing between these three schools, and I'm not from England so I can't see the area myself! I'd really like to find a place with a vibrant scene. I know Hertfordshire is in a really slow town, but it's not so far from London right?

I've also seen some pretty bad reviews on Roehampton so if anyone has anything to share about the schools too, I'd love to hear it! I'm really stuck on where I want to go.

Roehampton can be a very good school depending on your course, its near london and accommodation is cheap. lively nightlife in nearby kingston, but also beautiful parks

Thank you! I've been leaning towards Roe so that's really good to hear.

No worries! obviously everywhere will have good and bad qualities, but if you are leaning towards it I say go for it! make sure you've done lots of research into how important proximity to London is, as train cards prices will vary, and if you can get a lively enough nightlife out of London (like Kingston), even better!
