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.
