uni insurance choice classics- help!

I can't decide what to put for my uni insurance choice and was wondering if people would have some advice on this.

I have decided that my firm offer will be Cambridge (A*, A, A) offer but I can't decide between Durham (A,A,A), Warwick (A,A,B) or Exeter (A,A,B) for my insurance choice. I have only visited Cambridge and Durham (and I really liked Durham) but I am aware that an A,A,A backup may be quite steep...In addition, my offer at Warwick is for Classical Civilisation (as I don't do latin at school) so I am questioning whether it would be well-regarded and whether this should be a factor in my decision. I am on track to getting A*, A, A, but I want to be sure that I pick a good backup, I may be overthinking this, but if anyone has any advice I would appreciate it!

You still have time to visit Exeter and Warwick before the deadline to pick a firm and insurance.

I’m afraid Durham has a history of messing insurance applicants around if they miss their offer conditions slightly (so if you ended up with A*AB for example) - holding onto their applications for weeks and then rejecting them when there were few places available in Clearing. While that might not happen to you it’s worth being aware of.
