London Unis - Greenwich vs City

Looked at both yesterday (knackered!). DD wanting to do Psychology. Pros and cons of both - Greenwich is a beautiful campus, City reminded her of her high school but it's not all about looks obvs 🤣 City ranks a bit higher for her course.

Does anyone have any views or experience of either? She will be living at home and commuting if that makes a difference.

Thank you 🙂

City is much higher up league table wise. That said both are BPS accredited which is what really counts. What are the commutes like?

What are her grades like? Can't she at least try for QMUL?

Commute to City is about 1 hrs, Greenwich about 15-20 mins longer.

D*DD BTEC, but QMUL won't take BTEC, so limited to those that will.

Royal Holloway, better ranking than the others, still University of London.

In Egham, stunning campus!

Is this one doable?

City then. Better ranked uni, shorter commute.

Fair enough.
