Hi! So my local university is Warwick, which is obviously an amazing uni & I absolutely love the course/campus…but I live in Leamington & most people move here after 1st year so I’m worried I won’t gain the uni experience. Not really nightlife wise, but more so in terms of confidence & independence as I am a really anxious person.

My other option is Bristol, which people keep telling me is less prestigious (they don’t do a history & politics course, so I applied for politics & sociology as I equally enjoyed sociology at a level…though like the sound of this course a little less). Would it be worth it to move away & do a potentially less prestigious course so that I can properly experience the uni ‘lifestyle’ or should I just stay put?

I want to move into halls if I go to Warwick, but people always claim uni is the best time of your life…I don’t want to miss out on that just to spend the rest of my life working, even if it is a slightly ‘better job’.

It was so divided when I asked what I should firm so just want to find more opinions!

Would be from the University of Bristol - hoping to enter marketing, political communications, journalism or political strategy.

Could transfer to an Msci with quantitative methods through the Q step programme?

I have offers for politics & sociology at Bristol, and history & politics for Warwick. Still stuck on which to firm so trying to find out information about the courses and sociology in general!!!
