Hi everyone
I'm really struggling to choose about which uni I'd like to attend and I was wondering what other people's opinions are on this topic. I know it's not something I don't exactly need to worry about yet, but i figured it's better to think about it sooner than later...
I've applied to:
Oxford for History and Politics (got an interview)
Exeter for Politics and IR
Loughborough for for Politics and IR (offer given)
Nottingham for Politics and IR (offer given)
and Swansea for Politics and IR (offer given).
I'm a very active person and I really like doing lots of things on top of my A Levels, which is something I wish to continue through uni: I love learning German, I love dancing, I love doing MUN, and ngl I love a good night out. Therefore, Oxford (to me at least) seems like it would severely restrict these factors. While I love my proposed degrees, I don't want it to completely take over my life - I still want to be able to do my other things if ygm?
While I know I'm taking this is as if I've got into Oxford, which is something I recognise is very hard, I'm just really struggling to decide where I would go if I, theoretically, were to get an offer. My school is private and quite 'big' as such on Oxbridge offers, so turning it down would probably get backlash. But then again, I would be prepared to turn down Oxford for the sake of a better university experience. Atm my favourite is loughborough, but my overall top 3 are Oxford, Exeter and Lboro.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated thank you
