Exclamation Imperial or Bristol?

Ok..so I need some advice!
I've got offers from Bristol and Imperial but I don't know what to do.
So what sort of factors would influence you? All suggestions welcome..including some wisdom from current students! Btw decision time is looming so be hasty!

Choose which you think will be best for you!!
Imperial is the best uni, but then I'm biased because i absolutely love the course
you have to choose a course that suits you!!!
You'd be stuck happily or unhappily with your choice for 5 - 6 years!!!

lol well ur kinda like me i wasnt sure about imperial but here is how i see it
1) imperial gives ya a guaranteed BSc which is apparently quite gud not just becasue of the degree but all the research options n + publications that follow-Bristol doesnt guarantee this (even if it does i doubt the facilities/research options for it wud be as gud as imperial)
2) Whilst Bristol maybe nice...........London is way better
3) Bristol is nowhere near recognised as Imperial is in the medical world, the experience, the teaching, the course r seen as well superioir

On the flip side Imperial can be seen to be a bit geeky, but then medics r cool so hopefully medics r alrite. London is also expensive, so that is a factor.
But basically go with where u feel u wanna. I just thort i dont wanna look back in years n think crap did i miss out on a reli gud oppurtunity. hope it helps x
