Mpharm Sheffield vs Nottingham

Hi, I received 5 offers for Mpharm from Sheffield, Nottingham, Birmingham, Cardiff and Manchester. I now need to firm and my preferences are for Sheffield and Nottingham. Sheffield would be my first choice as I love the location, the university life and really liked the academics, however this is a new course which makes me a bit uncertain. Nottingham has an amazing reputation so I feel that it should be the place to go but I don't like the vibes there. What would you recommend? Thanks

Sheffield is a well established Uni, with a long history of running successful healthcare courses including Medicine. This Uni would not be starting any new course without substantial planning - and the GPhC would not have approved it if there were any uncertainties about its capacity to deliver.

And btw, Nottingham has just announced major staff job-cuts - that is actually likely to impact your student experience far more than 'new course' at Sheffield.
