Bath or Surrey for Politics

Hi! I’m struggling to pick between firming Bath and Surrey for politics.

Bath is a Russell group, top 10 for Politics, beautiful campus city.
Is the nightlife good. But super expensive from what I’ve been told

Surrey is a uni I have visited, I like the campus, the course seems great, the lecturers seem amazing too.
One lecturer told me due to the smaller cohort I’d have more access to opportunities at Surrey.

I really want to go to London to get my internship/placement and Surrey (Guildford) is a little bit more inexpensive but also a quick commute.

However I want to do what’s best for me overall, what’s the best degree I could get as Uni is so expensive I want to do it right.

Feel free to give me your opinions thanks!

Bath isn't part of the Russell Group - which kinda tells you how meaningless this concept actually is.
Bath's placement system is probably the best in the UK - and this makes an enormous difference to your graduate CV.
It has a fast train service to London, and Bristol is just down the road.
