University choice dilemma

Hi, can anyone advise which university they would recommend between Glasgow University and Strathclyde?
Applied for biochemistry and immunology. Recieved offers 2weeks ago. Just really can't decide 😕

Hey @Paula lalala 😀 Big congrats on your offer of study! That's exciting 😀

I'd definitely recommend chatting to students where possible. I think both universities use Unibuddy, so try and see if you can find students who are currently doing your course there. I'll link one of our students you can chat to here!

Try and have a think about what's most important to you in the degree (subject specialisms, social life, univeristy facilities, career opportunities etc etc) and then look for info on where we fit with what you're looking for. You may have already been invited to on campus applicant events too - really good opportunities to come back and ask extra questions!

You have until mid June to make the best decision for you - so don't panic right now. Take your time, try to visit the campuses again if you can, and think of what you want from your student experience so you can get the best match!

If you've any questions drop me a message - happy to help!
