Stirling or St Andrews?

I have an unconditional offer to study marine biology at Stirling university and I am still waiting for a decision from St Andrews. Which course is better? What are the pros and cons of each?

Im applying for economics so I have no idea about your course but I have visited both places. I initially had my heart set on St Andrews, however, on visiting Stirling I was really surprised/impressed by the place itself as somewhere to spend four years. The main difference is that it doesn't have the reputation of St Andrews (on the whole I'm not sure about marine biology) so I guess it depends on how much you value that particular aspect.
