Geography, help for the clueless

[makemyweek]

DS is in year 12 and wants to study Geography at Uni. He is mature, studious, not a party animal, plays guitar and would probably like to find a band to play with. He is currently working at AAA and is also doing a Btec in Music Performance. His preference is physical geography, particularly coastal.

He would be the first in the family to go to university so we are a bit clueless. I'm
looking for some general advice on choosing a uni and personal experiences of studying Geography, the good and bad, things to look for when making a shortlist (aside from just the league tables).

Thank you.

lots of niversities have a huge number of options. They do change though. It is best not to get fixated on one or two.

I did Geography at Royal Holloway just outside London. Absolutely loved it there. The first year everyone does everything and then you choose. I did mostly human but a bit of physical Geography.
