Kingston or King's?

Kingston has made an offer of BBB. But if I put Kingston as my firm choice, they will accept me even if I am 2 grades below (BCC)

Please help, I can't decide 😭

Hi @PLOPEZ2

Congratulations on both offers!

I understand that the choice of university can be a difficult one. If you haven't already, I would suggest going to an Open Day for each of the universities, to really get the feel of the campus, the people, explore the grounds and meet teachers and students from your course.
Depending on when you've received those offers, you may have received an email inviting you to their next Offer Holder Day (which is an invite-only event).

Kingston's Offer Holder day is on Wednesday 9 April, so make sure to check your emails. If you've received the offer only just recently, you most probably would not have received an invitation, and if that is the case, the next Open Day for all prospective students is on Saturday 26 April 🙂
Here's all the information about our next open days: Open Days 2025 | Kingston University London

Another Kingston Rep has posted blogs about her choice of university and the social life at Kingston, which you can check out here: My Deciding Factors For Choosing Kingston University & Social Life and Night Life at Kingston

Ultimately it is a personal choice, no one can decide for you, as it is you who will be the one committing to 3 years at whichever university you choose, so I suggest you take the time to think about, visiting the universities if you can!

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions 🙂

Hi @PLOPEZ2

Just to follow up i was wondering what course have you applied to study?

Pro's and con's lists are also good to make so you can easily compare.

Here are also a few posts I have done about Kingston that may give you some insight
An Overview of Kingston's Four Campuses - The Student Room
Social Life and Night Life at Kingston - The Student Room

I hope this is helpful and if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask us :smile:

Hi thanks for your help
I've applied for adult nursing and have already been to the offer holder day.
I'm happy with the facilities and how the content was delivered. It's just a matter of getting the grades.
Would you suggest to go for security instead of going to a prestige school?

Hi @PLOPEZ2

Your welcome :smile:

I would say that this choice is a personal one as it depends how confident you feel about the grades you are going to get. I don't think I know enough about the process to give advice, do you have anyone you can talk to at your 6th form or college that may know what the best thing is to do? The staff there will help students with these applications frequently so may have a good idea about what is the best next step.

I hope this helps and good luck!
