Help choosing which university to firm and insure LLB Law

I want to firm either Warwick or Bristol but i am not sure which one to go with. For insurance it's between exeter and cardiff.

Bristol is marginally better than warwick for law, but warwick has a better general rep, go with which uni you prefer. Exeter is significantly better than cardiff, Exeter should be your insurance

Bristol is a city campus - Bristol is a buzzy, arty city - Bristol accommodation is expensive - Law school is one of the best in the UK

Warwick is a 1960s/1970s campus Uni - on an isolated site just outside Coventry - cheaper accommodation than Bristol - a good Uni but with no particular reputation for Law.

I think if you're set on a career in Law, Bristol has to be the way to go. If not then it makes sense to entertain the idea of choosing Warwick since it is better for business/finance in a more general sense.

Bristol 100%. See a previous post of mine today for why not to pick Warwick.

Consider Durham and Nottingham too.

Nottingham in Clearing for Law for UK applicants - not very likely.

Bristol has a slightly better reputation for law than Warwick, but the difference is marginal so you should make your decision based on the course content/teaching style as well as any social considerations. If you'd be equally happy with the course content/teaching style at both, maybe have a look on TikTok to gather the vibe of each place and think about which you'd be happiest at. From what I've heard, Bristol has a really good nightlife, so that may be a consideration. While it may seem like a trivial thing to base your uni decision off of, your career prospects are very unlikely to be impacted by you choosing to go to one over the other as they both have great reputations, so your choice really can come down to which you think you'd have the most fun at.

Bristol's nightlife isnt what it used to be - Iconic Bristol nightclub Gravity to close down immediately due to 'economic strains' (thetab.com) - and several other good music venues have also recently closed or are threatening to close. Its so expensive to live in Bristol now that leaves no ££ for a nightlife.
