University of Leicester or Brighton for physiotherapy?

1

I applied for physiotherapy at University of Birmingham, Liverpool, Nottingham, Brighton and Leicester but I’ve only had offers from the last two.
Leicester didn’t really impress me on the first open day, but when I went for my interview I could see myself living there a bit more. I really liked the idea of living in Brighton but when I went to the applicant day I was a bit disappointed by how quiet the falmer campus seemed and how far it was away from the town centre. I feel like I might be kind of missing out on the vibe of Brighton if my accommodation and all my classes are at Falmer and I’m not mixing with other kinds of students that much. I really want to get out there a bit and have a bit of an adventure when I go to uni. All the facilities at Brighton seem a lot nicer and newer than Leicester so that is an advantage.
Just wondering what advice anyone else had and what experience you may have had with either university?
Thanks :smile:

Hiii

As a current student here's a few things that make me really like Leicester.

•

The campus offers the best of both worlds - a beautiful, self-contained university experience while being perfectly integrated with the vibrant city centre (Literally 15 minute walk from the centre).

•

A diverse student body where you'll meet people from all courses and backgrounds in our lively Students' Union. they put on so many activities making sure you've got something you'd enjoy.

•

Benefit from the established partnerships with local healthcare providers, offering valuable hands-on experience through placements

•

(And My Personal Favourite): the 200+ societies. with sports teams , mutual hobbies, cultural societies and regular events, you'll never run out of ways to make your university experience an adventure.

Leicester offers excellent value with lower living costs compared to many UK cities, while maintaining high educational standards and continuously improving facilities.

Why not try another open day? Sometimes visiting again can help solidify your decision and you might notice things you missed the first time.

Our next open days are coming up and I'd be happy to give you more details about them!
