Glasgow Vs Durham for UG Classics?

I have received offers from both the University of Glasgow and University of Durham. Which is best to study Classics in?

Side note: I am a massive fan of older architecture and like the whole vibe of studying and being able to freely walk around old buildings + massive bibliophile

Well…waiting for both here having applied in late November. Did you go to open days? Durham was impressive, if you like the college format. Glasgow course gets a great rep. And Glasgow is such a fun city to live in. Hard to choose. I hope I gets offers from both. Did you receive conditional offers? What grades did you have and are you contextual? (I am, for Glasgow).

I have a conditional offer to study History + Classics at Glasgow, I have ABBC at higher, a pass at advanced higher units and am currently studying social sciences at HNC in college :smile:

Glasgow for research quality and student satisfaction, Durham for graduate prospects. Source: www.thecompleteuniversityguide.co.uk .
I wouldn't base just on graduate prospects as Durham has a high private school intake (about 39%, second only to St Andrews on about 40%) and their prospects may have been aided by the school they went to. Glasgow's percentage of private school intake is approx 16% - will almost certainly be more than that anyway for a subject like Classics.
