Exeter vs Liverpool Politics Undergrad

Hello, I'm stuck debating these two unis, these are my pros/cons
For Exeter, I get a 3 grade reduction due to doing their Scholar's programme which would be a great opportunity for me as a BBB student to go to a really good uni HOWEVER I fear I would be really left out on the social side due to my working class background as the stereotype there is ofc private school and from Surrey- I'm a very social person and don't want to spend 3 years of my life without that part of me. Obviously this is the best choice academically but should that really be all I consider?
For Liverpool, I need ABB but i could get a BBB offer due to contextual admissions, obviously still a good uni but less graduate prospects and links for politics. I imagine I would be able to find my people here more due to there being 3? unis in the city, higher acceptance and less stereotyped.
If anyone could help add to these pros/cons or offer any help it would be appreciated :smile:

Private school population at University of Exeter – 30.3%, and University of Liverpool – 12.1% (2024 data from the Good University Guide). And remember that these figures don't include students from selective grammar schools which is an added posh factor.

However, going to Uni is about getting to know people from a wide range of backgrounds, and learning tolerance of difference. Wherever you go, you will find your tribe, the friends you relate to and where you feel comfortable. At many Unis there will be a 93% Club to represent the views/experience of state-school students - and give you the confidence that you need.
