Just starting to look at options for a maths degree - which unis would you advise looking at after COWI/London for a quieter student - prefers campus or smaller city which rules out a fair few. Will likely be a mix of A star and A at ALs but need to also ID some safer options and in particular ones without additional entrance tests.
A year out abroad or ability to take classes in a language alongside maths is a plus. Thank you!

Liverpool is ABB, no additional test. You can take extra language classes through the continuing education department and theres a good amount of year abroad options including a year at their china campus if that’s of interest.

Liverpool is a city I love but it's not a small city and has a reputation as party central for students.
Although there may be lots of other activities it's not an obvious choice for a shy student

Most dc get uni first year accommodation. Lots of unis run language classes for people taking other degrees. Bristol has done it for years. He might enjoy Exeter. A quiet student we know did maths there and thrived. Surrey is often a good shout too. Maths students are very employable but I would add in some business experience and modules if he can.

We were not talking about insurance though were we? Just a list of unis with no idea of what would be firm. If you firm, most unis accommodate most students. If you discount a uni based on accommodation stories, which otherwise you might have firmed, you will never know what accommodation you could have got had you firmed. If it’s top choice for academic and other reasons, I would still go for it. Insurance is another matter in many unis.
