exeter or bristol for law?

Offers from both and am not sure on which to choose. Despite Bristol's ranking I have heard that there have recently been a lot of problems with exams and marking strikes. Also have heard there is not as much support there. How important is ranking and has anyone been at Bristol and is able to share their experience. Does anyone know what a 1st from Exeter would be looked at in comparison to a 2:1 or 2:2 from Bristol? I am very undecided so any information and help at all would be greatly appreciated x

I studied law at bristol and had exeter as insurance. In terms of the legal industry bristol is better regarded but exeter is hardly bad at all. I found the teaching at bristol good and by going to a top uni for law you will be surrounded by many people applying for top training contracts, I knew loads of people getting top offers. I imagine it will be similair at exeter but to a lesser extent. However Law firms are increasingly egalitarian and care far far more about your law grades and extracurriculars, a first at exeter is better than a 2.1 at bristol and 100000% better than a 2.2 at bristol. If I were to do it again Id probably still pick bristol over exeter as it does have a stronger rep for law, its similair to durham in placements at top firms, but i think i would have enjoyed exeter more, bristol can be overwhelming and if youre not a confident and self assured person it can be easy to fall off track, i struggled a bit focusing on my studies throughout my first and second year. Ultimately if you go to exeter youre not at a big disadvantage at all, so go there if you prefer, i just imagine the average student there will be less competitive than the average bristol law student

Go to Exeter - it's far nicer to live in. Bristol is putting people in halls in Wales as they are so short of places in halls.
Exeter is better for Law - the poster went to Bristol so is bound to say it's better!

on what metrics and authority can you make that claim? Bristol is far more competitive to get an offer, requires better grades and the LNAT, more represented in MC and SC Firms. I would be interested to see how you back your claims

I am right, satisfaction is a bs metric used by poor academic unis to bolster their ratings, Bristol has better satisfaction than LSE does that make is a better university certainly not. Teaching is such a subjective metric when comparing unis for something like law grades and rankings and course rep matter- Bristol takes the cake on all those points. Also not that rankings matter a lot but Exeter 20 vs Bristol 8 is a big gap. I do agree about accommodation at Bristol however. Regarding firms I am not saying Exeter is not a good uni for law, it does place well in top firms. Bristol just does better. You've also just proven Bristol is better by not addressing my points about entry standards, ranking or reputation

Bristol is inarguably better for law, there should be no debate here. Not by much of course, Exeter is very decent. The point about satisfaction is valid, but it's arguably a trade off some people might be willing to make. There's a reason why LSE is so demanded despite poor satisfaction ratings, for example.

Then argue that as opposed to saying exeter is better for law. There are major issues at bristol but for many courses it remains a top uni and its issues do not affect its reputation for that subject. Just argue your point well, i agree exeter seems to be a better run uni, but bristol still remains a better uni reputation wise for law

In your opinion but lots of people including law firms don't agree with you. Why can't people disagree civilly but some posters just abuse those with different views which just show how weak their argument is.
Better does not mean higher entry grades btw - nor does use of LNAT.

Why is Exeter better? Genuinely curious as a prospective law student

PM me - fed up with abusive posters who tink they can bully people.
