Any advice or insights would be really helpful. DD is just going into year 12 and is beginning A-levels in maths, economics and history. She is reasonably, but not highly academic (8x 7’s, 8’s at GCSE and one 6.) she’s hoping to study economics or data sciences with a view to a career as an accountant, actuary or tax consultant. She is academically reasonably ambitious but hates highly competitive environments.
We are just starting to look at universities now, because this will probably be a long process involving several visits and she does not want to feel rushed at the beginning of year 13. She said she wants somewhere not too big, where she can meet like minded people and where she can be independent (such as self catering) without too much need to be in huge social spaces (such a a a refectory.) She is happy to consider somewhere less academic if it is right for her socially. She absolutely loves singing, especially church music and folk and is practising Christian but very socially liberal. Doesn’t care for sports or drama, doesn’t drink but loves a dance. She knows London well and is more than happy to consider a london university, but does not want somewhere with halls miles away from lectures. She wants to be within 2 hours of home (Epping.)
Any help appreciated!
