My daughter needs to firm her uni choice very soon and is changing her mind daily. Does anyone have any knowledge as to why one might be better/nicer/different than the other, please. All opinions considered. Thank you

Exeter campus, Bristol not.

Distance to your house.

Less crime in Exeter vs Bristol.

Bristol nearer London (if you consider that a good thing).

Also Bristol v expensive for halls, rents eating out er. Presume Exeter isn’t as bad.

Exeter might feel a bit provincial if your DC is currently a city dweller. Bristol feels city enough for my Londoner DC

Thank you, I have heard this before about Bristol, but my daughter tells me I'm wrong. Do you know if there is anywhere I can show her this.

In the first instance what's the course ranking? If similar then go Exeter, better in many ways than Bristol who have a terrible reputation for student care.
