warwick or durham for econ

i've got an offer from both; a*a*a for warwick and a*aa for durham. warwick is ranked more highly for econ and is a target uni for firms, but i feel like i will enjoy the student life in durham more since from what i've heard the social life in warwick is pretty dead. plus the dating scene in warwick is pretty much non existent. i'm quite torn deciding between the two so please any advice would be nice

i went to warwick for a few months but ended up leaving as I was quite bored from my course but I was doing an arts course. the majority of students at warwick are doing econ/ppe/maths so you will defo fit in in that sense. the nightlife is not totally dead either most people in my flat of 12 were going out 3/4 nights a week but the problem is is that the campus is far away from any towns - 30 minute bus to coventry or leamington spa which is where the clubs are but it does not stop a lot of people. I think it also depends on your accom - i was in arthur vick which is quite lively (as well as jack martin, rootes, etc..)
