Durham or Glasgow Law

Hi! Basically, I'm unsure about whether to firm Glasgow or Durham for law, and was looking for some insights. I *know* it's very subjective and down to personal preference, but I can't go to visit either of these places, so was looking for some personal opinions from others who have been to/ go to either city of uni.

Your question is not relevant to this thread. You ask the same question over and over again on threads where the question is not relevant. Your previous persona did the same thing. You can't even get the grammar right.

OP, I can't offer great insights into the Durham vs Glasgow choice. I assume that your offer from Glasgow is to study common law. Glasgow is a large post-industrial city with a great culture and nightlife. It has rough bits but the university is in the leafy west end of the city. Durham is small and pretty. It tends to be a bit quiet, although it's close to Newcastle, a buzzy city.

No you have no insight nor perception. All I want is you to stop replying to me and please stick this to this matter and let’s not carry on this point. Highly doubt you’re a barrister anyway.

Do you have any useful advice for the OP? I am untroubled by your doubt.

Durham is a 3 year course- probably a more clear course structure than the 4 year of Glasgow- can get your degree and practice faster if that matters to you.

Durhams viewed more highly in England( firms etc) but both will be good options.

Durham is a smaller, more aesthetic place with a university feel.
Glasgow a larger place with a lively city feel.

I’d choose Durham for efficiency and English reputation.
