Nottingham or Birmingham better for studying mathematics?

Britbong here, applying to study maths at an undergraduate level. Anyone here studied maths or a similar STEM subject at either the University of Nottingham or Birmingham? How's the quality of teaching? I'm kinda torn between the two, seem pretty similar.

they're probably similar, but check out their extra curriculars
sounds like bullshit, but fuck does it make a difference.

read their alumni publications. are they more interested in people's genders, sexual habits and skin colour, or have their undergrads actually achieved anything?

then again, kiddo, it's march, what are you doing leaving it this late?

Go to the place you will enjoy being at for 3-4 years the most, a place you will enjoy living in. Ultimately the content of an undergraduate education in mathematics is broadly similar most places you go, and the teaching quality is totally down to who happens to be lecturing/TAing the courses the year you take them. Additionally if you are really meant to be an academic mathematician you will spend a lot of time teaching yourself concepts from books etc, which is independent of where you choose to study.

Your goal should be to enjoy yourself, meet girls (maybe your future wife), make some mates, pick up some new hobbies, and set yourself up for the next stage of your life. Take it from me, the worst thing you can do is go to somewhere because it is "prestigious" have a rubbish time and leave with a 3 year black hole of regret squatting on your early adulthood.

you're right, i should've done my research/attended open days earlier. still, applications for accommodation are only just opening and i don't think most people have picked their firm/insurance choices yet

don't applications for accomodation come AFTER acceptance letters?

no, applications for accommodation are open now but you don't get accepted to the uni you applied for until you do your A levels because you need to meet grade requirements to get in. although if you don't meet the grade requirements for your first choice uni then you have to apply for accommodation for your backup choice (or through clearing if you don't make your backup choice either) in the summer, by which point the best accommodation has already been taken up

best accommodation is off campus
you get to learn tricks from 2nd & 3rd year students and you still get to fuck freshers if you have social skills.
if you don't, living on campus won't help shit.
but, aren't all degrees online now? how's that work?
