Chester or Anglia Ruskin for Animal Behaviour

I'm trying to decide which to put as my first choice:
Chester or Anglia Ruskin for Animal Behaviour

Anyone got any advice about either of these uni's?

The guardian rank Anglia Ruskin as 71st and Chester as 80th. If I were you I wouldn’t listen to the middle class snobs on this forum. Book into an open day and choose what feels right for you. I applied to Anglia Ruskin in Cambridge because I heard good feedback from friends that done their degrees there. Apparently it’s really friendly and they offer you a lot of help if you need it.

I agree, I'm studying Biomedical at Anglia Ruskin, but know a couple of peeps doing Animal Behaviour, Zoology and Wildlife Biology. They are all happy at ARU and I know some of the lecturers as well and they pretty decent. Don't know anything about Chester, but I think ARU is good for Animal Behaviour.

Attending an Open Day would help.

Chester is a good uni, it's my insurance choice for animal behaviour for 09 entry.
Don't know anything about Anglia Ruskin though.
Go to the open days to have a look, it's the best way to decide.

I lived with two people who did Animal Behaviour whilst at Chester and they both loved it. One of them now works at Chester Zoo, doing something in the butterfly house :-)

Hi. I was predicted A psychology, B Theology, B english lit & A general studies. But i think they wanted 240/260 ucas points. I love Animal Behaviour is really interesting! Im a 2nd year at chester uni, though i do wish i had studied biology at A level, it would have made my 1st year so much easier! What A levels are you doing at the moment? :smile:

Hi! I can't find anything about the comparison between this two uni. Do you know if ARU gives the same opportunity to study abroad than Chester?
