Where do I go?????

3

So I have just received all 5 of my offers and have no clue what to firm or insure. I have offers from Manchester, Surry, Exeter, Warwick, and Nottingham for law and have targets of A*A*A. Warwick is the highest rated on that list, and I already live walking distance to the campus so I wouldn't have to pay for accom, but they have offered me A*AA. Whereas Exeter is still pretty nice, and they have offered me AAB if I firm and AAA if I insure, which would be less pressure. Nottingham's a good uni, (offered AAA) and I do support Forest (which was honestly my main reason to apply) but I hear its very night-life focused and I don't drink. I'm also taking a gap year where I will be moving to Guildford so Surry is my safety with ABB, but I will know the place well before I go. Please let me know what you guys would do (also I have kinda ignored Manchester which was A*AA, but I don't think I would go there, my step brother does so it would be nice to spend time with him)

Congrats on all the offers, first of all! Honestly, it comes down to whether you prioritise academic prestige versus lifestyle and stress levels. Personally, I’d weigh Warwick’s top rating and convenience, but Exeter could be a balance if you’d rather avoid pressure.

Congrats !!
I recommend looking at the content you'd be studying , or what optional modules you could choose - studying is always more fun if its something you enjoy :wink:

For me, location was the ultimate deciding factor as I rly liked the content offered by all my unis - where might you genuinely see yourself living for 3 or 4 years?

Hi Grace, and congratulations on your offers! To get a better sense of what life at each University is like, you could talk to current students on the Unibuddy platform, who can offer authentic advice on their University experiences.

Since you already live close to Warwick, you probably know the area well, but you could always chat to one of our ambassadors if you have more questions about student life. Most of the other Universities that you've mentioned also have students on Unibuddy, so you could gain insights from their current students too :smile:

Congratulations on your offers! For your firm you should pick the place you think you would enjoy yourself the most. Weigh up whether you would rather live at home or out, how much you like the campus, how interesting the potential modules are and any other factors that matter to you. Every university you have listed will have a nightlife scene but also lots of people who don't drink.

If you can, try to go to offer holder days for your top picks before you decide to make it easier to choose! Speaking to people on UniBuddy is also a great shout as you can get insights into both the courses and the social aspects at each university.

Good luck!

Hi there @gracemurp well done on receiving your offers! It's true that Nottingham has an established nightlife scene, but the city does offer many more opportunities for those less interested in nights out including cafes, music etc🙂 If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!😀
