UoN or Warwick?

I am fortunate to have offers from my top 2 choices already; LLB at Nottingham and BA Law & Sociology at Warwick. Deciding between the two is tough and any help or insights would be appreciated.

My main concerns so far are;

•Warwick is 4 years compared to Notts’ 3, so another year of debt accumulated and maintenance needed. However my friends have pointed out another year of the so called best of my life can’t be that bad ( plus loan repayment isn’t a massive burden apparently? )

I do like Warwick’s campus a lot, but it’s in the middle of nowhere and I’m used to London so I don’t know. However Nottingham’s campus + city vibe is quite nice imo.

I do like to party quite a bit but I have heard Nottingham has a veryy heavy party culture, which may get a bit overwhelming sometimes.

Employability - apparently there isn’t a heap of difference between them but any further information would be very helpful. I have heard firms prefer some form of differentiation in your studies, so maybe Warwick’s sociology background will give me a more unique profile?

Warwick’s 1st and 2:1 rate is at 91% while Nottingham’s is at 84%. Also have heard Nottingham’s marking is harsher in some way? Any help on clearing this up would be amazing.

Nottingham is an additional hour away from home, so travelling to and fro for holidays or visits more tedious ( but probably my smallest concern so far. )


Bearing these in mind, what would anyone who has had to make similar decisions, or even alumni of these schools recommend? The only thing I am not sure about properly is the employability section - if there is a clear choice in that regards please let me know.
