So I really need some advice on whether to pick Imperial or Durham as my firm because I'm torn between the two.
I really liked Durham and the collegiate system because it would probably be easier to make more friends this way. It also has a very good Physics department.
I always read though that Imperial is one of the best for science/engineering and is often compared with Oxford for Physics, and I'd generally be better off with regards to job prospects due to the city, contacts, etc. Although the downsides are the cost and the gender ratio (and the huge 'geekyness' too). There are also some complaints about the social life at Imperial but I'm not sure if I'd just be picking Durham for the social life.
Advice is appreciated
