Warwick vs Sussex: Politics & French courses?

I'm choosing between Warwick's Politics, International Studies and French, and Sussex's International Relations with French. Anyone studied either? What's the teaching and social life like? 😊

Why not take close looks into their course modules (for the whole 3-year duration) to see which uni fascinates you more. Sussex campus is about 10 minutes from Brighton, life would be probably more exciting, at a cost.

Sussex is less competitive (its simply less fashionable than Warwick),and therefore you are far more likely to get an offer and they are far more likely to be forgiving in August if you miss a grade. Brighton is a great place to be a student, in contrast the Warwick campus is in the middle of nowhere with most students living in Coventry - I know where I'd rather live for 3 years.

Sussex does indeed appeal on location and the course also looks interesting. I am curious as to why it rates so much lower on the league tables though-including employment after graduation? Can anyone who is a current student or a Sussex graduate of IR shed any light?
