Bimingham or St Georges HELP!

If you had the choice between Birmingham and St Georges, what would you choose? Im running out ouf time on UCAS and am going to both open days but was wondering if someone could give me pros and cons about ach. Personally I think:

St Georges Pros: LONDON! MBBS, Withing hospital so better clinical, close to home, purely medical field
Cons: A bit small (e.g. lecture theatres), only students from medical field, in tooting!

Birmingham Pros: Nice Campus, Big Uni, Big lecture theatres okay area
Cons: May be harder to get job in London in future, MBChB instead of MBBS, a bit further away from home than Georges

HELP!!!! WHAT HAS BETTER REPUTATION??

lol.. this is the third thread uv started bout this!
why is MBChB a con.. does it hav less status than an MBBS i didn kno that
tbh.. from the sounds of things.. u want to remain in London.. which means St G's is the obvious choice.. just how important is that factor to u?

and in terms of reputation.. med school reputation is all relative now.. its v objective and most of the time down to personal preference... a significant majority of drs advised me to choose bham over st georges so take from that what you will..

i think u should choose st georges.. the vast majority of ur pros/cons are in regards to location rather than course.. and if theres nothing to choose between the courses for u than its all about location and u clearly wanna stay in london.. thats jst my opinion tho..

Ultimately, you need to make the choice yourself - rather than starting umpteen topics about it. Because only you know what you really want.

As for Edgbaston being an "ok area" - it's one of the poshest areas in Birmingham... and very nice too.
