bristol or warwick for law
i can’t decide bewteeeb bristol or warwick for law. my bristol offer is aab (contextual) and then for warwick it’s a*aa. can someone let me know the vibes and which one is more academically prestigious. obviously ik people don’t care about what uni you went to as much anymore but i feel for something like law it’s slightly more relevant. i like that warwick is a campus but i have a feeling id have more fun at bristol. any guidance would be appreciated

Congratulations to your offers.
Bristol and Warwick are super close in every aspect. You won't regret choosing either one.
But Bristol's offer is so irresistible for me.

Bristol is a vast, lively city with a great campus- Warwick a decent campus too, but doesn’t compare location wise.
Bristol is ranked merely below Oxbridge and Durham by most measures for law, and has done so for a long time (and will continue to do so)- as far as I’m aware Warwick is a bigger target in finance/ banking/ maths related fields, compared to Bristol at least.
Also important not to underestimate the difference between A*AA and AAB, given the ambiguous nature of A- Levels, and potential for missing out on places by 1 mark etc.
Bristol is the better law school, in a better location, and has given you an offer that is 10x easier than your other; with this in mind, I’d argue the decision is a clear one.

Bristol. The only explanation I can think of for Warwick's offer is they want you to think their Law school is harder to get in to than it actually is. Some 1960s era universities seem to do it frequently because they don't physically look all that prestigious. Warwick Law School also has an implied bias towards international students/BAME/women, as their website implies. You'd probably actually still get in Warwick with AAB. See The Complete University Guide. Actual entry grades for Law at Warwick are actually lower than at Bristol, Nottingham, Manchester.
You might be best considering Nottingham University too if you can because it's a fun campus university, in a lively city, that is also old and respected for Law and in general.
