Help me choose my university
I hold offers from Nottingham, Exter, Leeds, Bristol and Durham for Bsc Finance
I am unsure of what job to go into specifically but I am aiming to the more lucrative side of finance jobs working in a big city. I am keen on PE/IB and wealth management.
I am struggling to choose my firm univeristy between Bristol and Durham. Bristol requires AAA but Durham AAB. I've consistently heard negative things about Durham and how theyre facilities are outdated and everythings expensive and just an inconvenient place to go to really. I really like Bristol and their campus
Where would you recommend me going ?

Recommendation:
Given your interest in lucrative finance roles like PE, IB, and Wealth Management, both universities can provide a solid foundation. However, considering your preference for Bristol's campus, its modern facilities, and its strong reputation, Bristol seems like the better choice for you. It aligns with your goals and offers a more enjoyable university experience, which can be crucial for your success.

Durham, Nottingham/Bristol, Exeter.
In that order. Wouldn’t bother with Leeds.
why would u put durham over bristol, bristol have had a higher ranking in terms of business school and durham's declined recently. Don't they have the same rep too ?
Either way, you’re splitting hairs. The truth is that if you’re good and interesting enough and put in the right work, you’ll do well at both. Durham is simply regarded as a better university.
Durham
