I have to decide what uni I want to go to by tomorrow, it's between the University of Nottingham and Birmingham.

Its between Biochemistry and Chemistry. I enjoy Biochemistry more job prospects probably better in chemistry though. Then it is between Nottingham and Birmingham , for Chemistry both the industrial year and year abroad count towards the masters. But for Biochemistry, the year abroad or year at the university is counted towards the masters at Nottingham. At Birmingham the year abroad is not counted but the year in Industry is towards the masters this means you can work at a Biochem related and get paid for that year. Tomorrow UoN have said it is my deadline to withdraw so I need to decide by tomorrow which uni to go to.

I have really bad anxiety and this thing is really getting to me I'm not sure what to do. I was doing Chemistry at UoN but had to leave due to anxiety. I somehow also just need a way to control my anxiety too

@proactiveSky5611 both of those sound like very great choices! it's impressive that you've into both indeed, congratulations for that! I definitely understand the pressure of not knowing what to do, and choosing a career path is one of the toughest decision a young person has to do! Please know we're here to support you, it's ok to feel nervous about this and doubt! What has helped you cope with anxiety before?

Some ways I take hard decisions is either making pro and cons lists or simply throwing a coin and let it help me decide - if I don't feel relieved with the result I got, I would probably go with the other one! At the end, anywhere you go will be amazing & you'll rock it!
