I'd probably choose Warwick or Bristol personally... although SOAS is excellent at what it does.

But if you do go to SOAS you'll get to be near me :smile:

I would've said Warwick or Bristol.

But i must say damn! Well done with those offers. I'm trying not to swear here, lol.

Just out of interest are you an international applicant?

SOAS is good if you want a breath of fresh air. Otherwise Warwick.

It's ironic. Someone who is clearly academically (and otherwise) good enough to get offers of ABB from Bristol, BBB from Warwick, and AA from SOAS doesn't even know how good these unis are in relation to each other...

:rolleyes:

I disagree. As Lotello said, look at the sticky thread in the law forum. Your answer is there - i.e. Bristol, then Warwick, then SOAS.

I don't like the place, and the excessive amount of toffs (and Tories, like your goodself).

i wouldn't say the amount of 'toffs' was excessive, unless you decide to do a degree in classics the spectrum is very much wide! and in 90% of cases, you wouldn't be able to tell who went to a private or state school without asking them anyway.

and as for tories, now i'm a reason not to go to bristol, great (!) hehe

Well done with your offers! :smile:

Hmm. Although SOAS is good, I think that with your career direction you might want to opt for either Bristol or Warwick. :smile:

Oh, and you may also want to consider uni life. Bristol has more of a city atmosphere, while I get the impression that Warwick is more of a *quiet* campus. (I could be wrong though!)

thank you!
SOAS is ranked #2 in law by the guardian... bristol is #18 and warwick is #10. do these rankings not mean much? it seems like everyone tells me to go to either bristol or warwick. is this because SOAS' reputation is not as good or is it because SOAS is more of an institution where students generally go on to do research/work for the govt.?

I think all three have excellent reputations. I think you should consider exactly what sort of uni environment you want to be living in for three years, as they are all quite different.
