Greenwich or London South Bank University?

I'm planning on studying in London, starting in September. I already applied for several undergraduate programmes via ucas and also received some unconditional/conditional offers. My problem is that I can't really decide between Greenwich University and London South Bank University. Which one would you suggest/preferr/recommend?? (My field of study will be either sociology or media or a combined degree)
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Mickey Mouse degree from a Mickey Mouse uni.

Seriously, is there a difference where you go?
Neither of those Uni's are particularly great... I'd say Greenwich is slightly better than Southbank though.

A. Ignore the idiots
B. Have you looked at the course contents for both unis? Or been to look at either?
C. The Sociology is pretty good at LSBU, i've done 4 Socio modules on my course there and they've been interesting and the teaching is good. However, I have no idea what Greenwich is like!

I don't think your going to get too many useful or tactful answers on TSR about those particular universities unfortunately. Which one would you prefer to go to? Follow your instincts.
Greenwich for the campus. Ignore the uni snobs.

Haven't had the pleasure.


And frankly if the OP didn't care enough to do some research course content and quality-wise I doubt there's going to be any difference where they go at the end of the day.

You've disarmed me now (as much as it was most likely sarcasm)! :eek:
