For me, id go Bristol, just for the bars, restaurants & nightlife you’ll get their, reputation benefit is minimal between the two. Not to mention Bristol is right at the center of British aerospace (although tbf Bath is just down the road so not exactly far to visit potential employer insight events).

Personally would go with Bath

On paper it might be slightly more prestigious but if you look at the big picture i think Bristol will be a better experience overall like what @mnot said.

Thats really interesting. What uni did you go to? And what type of propulsion research are you doing?

I was mostly looking at Southampton, Nottingham, UCL
UCL was purely about non-engineering CV value, S'oton & Notts both good engineering programs but I ended up choosing Nottingham, I really was on the fence deciding for a long time; but I loved my time in Nottingham and wouldn't change it.

Have you taken a gap year? Just curious about how you've managed so many extracurriculars. I'm taking the IB and just coping.
