Manchester/Bristol prospective students?

Hi guys! Is anyone else considering Manchester and/or Bristol? I have been admitted to both, and I would love to meet people in the same situation 🙃

My advice would be to go for Bristol. It is nicer as a university overall. Manchester has a gigantic student population, perhaps too big, and you might feel like a number there in packed out lectures rather than a well-rounded student. Manchester is a great research university, but l get the impression their massive student population is there to help fund that research.

Thanks, I´ll take it into account :smile:
