I won’t make my decision based on your answers, I just wanted to hear different opinions..

Also, which source is more reliable for University rankings- Guardian or Times ?

Best reply by Susan:

Personally, I prefer the Guardian tables.

Royal Holloway is much higher up than Nottingham. It has a 92% satisfaction rate with teaching compared to Nottingham‘s 84%, though that’s not bad. Career prospects are also better from there, and you don’t need such high entry grades.

It’s right next to St Andrews on the list – I went there and did psychology for one year of my degree, and it had a fantastic reputation. So, if it’s that close to St Andrews, then I’d say it must be brilliant
