Which Uni do I pick for Classical Studies? Kings College Vs University of Bristol

Hiya! I got all my university offers, I'm now currently stuck on choosing a firm and insurance choice. My top two choices are Kings College London and the University of Bristol, I got a conditional offer from Kings (AAB) and a contextual from Bristol (BBB). Kings caught my eye first with its Classics and Ancient History course, and I like the idea of living in central London and being so close to so many museums and libraries, but I'm worried about how expensive it will be and the safety of being in central London (I'm from the countryside so no experience of city life), Bristol has a really good course that has lots of focus on art in it which I want to focus on in my degree, it's less expensive than London too, but would I be regretting not going to Kings considering it's "the better University"?

If you are from the countryside and like the Bristol course, I would go with that. London is expensive as a student and overwhelming for someone not used to big city life. Hope that helps.

Go to the Offer Holder visit days and think about where you will feel happiest for 3+ years. As above, studying in London is not as glamourous as it might sound, its expensive and can be overwhelming. Bristol is still pricey but more manageable and generally a nicer environment than central London - Visit Bristol - The official tourist guide to Bristol
