harris westminster or brampton manor ?!

hi,
i’ve finally gotten offers from both hwsf and bma and am having trouble picking just one.

i’ve done a LOT of research and this is what i’ve evaluated:

-hwsf seems more like a school where you’re taught things beyond the curriculum (i’d love to learn more than just what’s on the spec)
-i worry about protecting my mental health at bma, as i’ve heard all too many times about the sheer stress (this probably applies to all 6th forms, esp with 4 AS levels. however, bma’s teaching style ensures that you learn all of the content months ahead as per usual :s how will i cope?)
-bma is a LOT more local (esp seeing as the day starts at 8:10)
-both schools are very successful so there’s no worries about performance (cambridge hopeful)
-a couple more people i know from secondary school are coming to bma which i guess is a perk

for context, i’m doing english literature, history, politics and economics!

help me come to an inevitable decision!
