nightlife in sheffield vs nottingham?

Sheffield all the way! There are lots of pubs in Sheffield and the university has a large number of Northerners who know how to party! Drinks are cheap as are most things in the North.
My daughter knows several people who went to Sheffield and they all loved the social scene. The university is very close to the town centre with clubs, pubs and wine bars.

Which course is it?

Go to Nottingham. Actual grades achieved by entrants are considerably higher for this subject at Nottingham (80% - joint 9th in the UK) than Sheffield (66% - 17th in the UK) according to The Complete University Guide. I would never choose solely on entry standards but edurank say Nottingham is 7th best in the UK for this subject whereas Sheffield is 10th, and Nottingham is overall a more picturesque city and the main campus is grandly unique looking in its white stone (makes a change from 'red' brick) in its own parkland. Nottingham is said to have many independent shops. The fact that Sheffield have to throw money at people to get them to go shows that it is not the best city and, even if it was, Nottingham's campus cannot be surpassed imo. You've got your whole life to make money but only 3+ years to enjoy the best university environment and city that you can.

I appreciate the response but I've asked some engineers and broadly, they say that all accredited courses will hold the same weight bar the very top unis, and sheffield and nottingham are already quite comparable even without taking that into account. And having been to and liking both cities, I think there's not much in it either way tbf, both are also quite good for student satisfaction
Tbh the thing that swayed me most was that despite Nottingham's campus being gorgeous, I just don't like campus unis in general. Couldn't say why, but they give me a weird vibe

I'm in year 13 rn and am currently picking between the university of sheffield and the university of nottingham for next year, and the course each uni offers is like 95% the same in terms of content, uni rep, outcomes etc, so it basically comes down to which city is better (though with the one caveat that if i get A*AA sheff will give me a big chunk of money if i firm them)
I do enjoy drinking and i like a good night out - with the caveat that I'm not HUGELY into clubbing and prefer bars (and pubs), but I'll still go clubbing if all my friends want to go - so i was wondering which will likely be better for this (or if both are good) in terms of stuff like variety, liveliness, cost of drinks etc
