How important is the sixth form you go to?

Theres not many good sixth forms in close proximity to me however i could take the bus to better schools, is it really worth it though if i put the same amount of effort in both?

The type of sixth form you go to is very important imo. I'd take the bus journey. Yh you can revise and put as much as effort into each one and probably get the same grades but the better one will alleviate it making it easier to achieve it. Also think about resources and help as sixth form isn't just about studying. You will require help with UCAS and uni applications and possible work experience etc. If the better one has more resources then 100% go to that sixth form. It'll be a drag to take the bus but it will be 100% worth it. Unis don't care about what sixth form you go to, just the grades you get, the experience you have etc.
