Warwick VS Durham Economics

I've been given offers to study at both Durham and Warwick for economics but I am really stuck choosing between courses. I went to the open day at Durham and really loved the collegiate system and I preferred the social aspect a lot more. I'm not particular keen on the Warwick campus but know the course is highly regarded. It seems to me Durham are putting a lot more investment into finance subjects like economics as they now have a new business school and I may feel that they could become more of a target uni alongside Warwick by the time I would graduate. Does anyone know if the prestigiousness of the courses is so significant enough that I should firm Warwick instead? Also, does anyone know how much harder it is to get internships at Durham over Warwick for spring/summer internships as I know these as some of the most important factors to trying to break into IB after uni?

hey! i am in the same position as you except economics with management at durham or economics and management at warwick. i am finding it so hard to choose! the collegiate system in durham is wonderful and seems like it could be a home away from home, but warwick seems very good career-wise and gives students lots of support. i guess its the weight up between social life and academics! wish the decision was easier to make!! how are you finding it? have you chosen yet? if so, do you have any advice on how to choose?

i was also stuck in the same dilema and decided to choose warwick in the end. as much as i really liked the idea of the collegiate system and gowned formals, there are still many social events at warwick which offers opportunities like these. also, career wise i think it will open a lot more doors with internships and improved access to careers such as ib. if you want any more advice it may be easier to talk through instagram etc if you want me to go into more detail on certain aspects on why i chose warwick
