warwick or bristol? help

struggling to decide between warwick and bristol. My course is politics and IR, and both seem equally good courses. I know warwick is slighlty higher ranked by im doubtful as to the validity of rankings. bristol looks more fun and social, but i also live nearby so am already familiar with the city. any suggestions?

Bristol over Warwick. You are right in that the uni campus and the city is more vibrant than Warwick. The Warwick campus is fine but the nearest city for a night out is Coventry (urgh!). Bristol campus is integrated into the city and the city itself is lovely.

Bristol - defintely. Excellent academically and a fabulous place to live for 3 years.

is the Warwick nightlife rlly as bad as it’s meant to be? I’m leaning towards Warwick for politics too but scared the nightlife will be shocking

having been last wednesday to the offer day, there’s not really much on campus but there is a club, as well as one in leamington spa. tbf i liked the campus atmosphere and it looked like there’s a lot of other social things to do other than just drinking lol

What were your grades? Waiting on offers for politics and IR and wondering what my odds are.

I'd choose Warwick - I really don't like Bristol as a city and the accommodation issues are worrying.
