Choosing a medical school

Hi, was wondering if anyone from University of Birmingham, Leeds or Manchester had some honest advice as to how they are finding medicine there ie the course/ level of student support/ and general student life? Really struggling to decide where to go to!!
Thanks :smile:)

Ahhh well done, I know it’s so hard to decide!! I find them all quite evenly matched course-wise, so am going to the offer-holder days to try and help decide😅, I need to also have a look at where placements would be in later years! Are you leaning more towards one?

aw thank u! huge congrats to u too, but yes ahaha it is genuinely the most confusing decision! idkkk ive always been set on leeds i loved it at the open day but the more i look into leicester their course just seems so gooddd! idk whether i should be so picky tho coz tbh leeds' course also seems amazing. other things are im a little worried leeds has too much of a party reputation too so idk if ill fit in but hoping to find my people hahah. probably leaning towards leeds but only abt 60-40 atm pahah. wbu? x
