University choice help
I have offers from Kings College University and Queen Mary university. (A*AA and ABB respectively). I’m planning to do mathematics. I’m struggling to choose where to go as I prefer the modules for maths in queen Mary compared to kings. And secondly I don’t think I will get an A in physics as I get pretty anxious for final exams. I also have to firm choice the right one as I’m getting accommodation. Any help on what to do? 😭

Seems you are inclined towards Queen Mary. Maybe you hesistate because KCL appears to be more reputable? I think they are on par, or QM follows very closely if KCL ranks higher. In practical terms the rankings are mere numbers. So why not follow your own wish to firm Queen Mary?

You shouldn't make these decisions yet - you have until June. Go to the offer holder days in Spring before you decide.

As above - you have until *June* to make this decision.
You will be sent details about Offer Holder visit days - listen to the more detailed course presentations, look around, ask questions and think about the reality of being at that Uni and doing that course.
Making a too-early decision means that many of those applicants are back on TSR in March, wringing their hands and wondering how to get out of a Firm choice they no longer want, or realise is now beyond their reach.
