Warwick Vs Exeter For History BA

I’m thinking of applying to either Warwick or Exeter for a History undergrad.
Need help deciding between the two, my predicted grades are A*AAand i’ve looked at the content of both courses and find them both very interesting.
Please help x

No! I hear they are both quite small and so have a lesser nightlife etc

I haven't been to Warwick but I've visited Exeter several times. It's a very pleasant environment, if rather white bread.

Hi, thank you so much!
First of all, do you mind saying what your predicted grades were and then the offer you received?

How do you find the history department in general and how is the nightlife at Warwick (granted you value that aspect) ?

Hi!
My predicted grades were A*A*A* (but I actually achieved A*A*A) and my offer was for 3As

The history dept in general seems to be pretty good and most of the lecturers are engaging and seem genuinely interested in what they're teaching

I can't really comment on the nightlife from personal experience as it's not really my thing but I don't think it's as bad as people can make it out to be. I know a few of my flatmates have gone out into Leamington and had a good time, and there is a club on campus as well which holds a variety of themed nights. I have friends at Exeter and from what I can tell the nightlife there is pretty good as well, and overall it's probably easier to access a wider variety of clubs than it is at Warwick.

Hope this helps and please ask if you have any more questions :smile:
