Bristol vs. Manchester

I’m planning on doing psychology at university and have offers from Manchester and Bristol but I have no idea which one to choose. Ive put Bristol as my firm choice and Manchester as my insurance but I’m now thinking of changing that to Manchester first. Would anyone be able to help me out, maybe if you’ve studied psych at Bristol/Manchester and how you found the course but also just the city in general.

Ive heard that Bristol isn’t great on student wellbeing plus my sister goes there so it might be nice for me to have my own city. Manchester seems to have a huge focus on career support and I also like the option of a year abroad. But I do like the fact that Bristol seems more picturesque and green, does Manchester have areas like this?

Any help would be appreciated! Flo :smile:
