sitting at the kitchen table with my Dd making lists of pros and cons for each university - would welcome any views from anyone who has recent experience of any of them! Dd's wants to study history and politics and until this week was fairly sure she would choose warwick as her first choice and Exeter as insurance. However, looking at the history course at Warwick she is having a wobble as she has realised it does not really focus on medieval/early modern, which she is desperate to study, having had to study only very recent history for A level ( up to and including Blair!). So now she is reconsidering york as she loved the sound of the history course, but was put off by the fact that it is 5 hours away and was not that keen on the concrete style campus. think also she was originally swayed by Warwicks position in the league tables. Exeter seems a fairly safe option (and a lower offer) but probably seems too safe as quite a few friends are planning to go there, one is already there and I went there several decades ago, so think she is keen to forge her own path! any views gratefully received to help her make up her mind. She likes going out, but does not want to be in a big city and likes the idea of a 'safe' cosy campus as she is rather nervous about leaving home. thank you!
