<p>For those familiar with UK Universities, I posit the following question(s) to you:</p>

<p>Recently, I was accepted to both aforementioned universities to read for law; 2 year Senior-Status at Nottingham and standard 3 year LLB at Durham. </p>

<p>Is there are difference in reputation between these two schools? I know they're both often considered to be in the tier right below Oxbridge (especially for law), but is either school taken to be more prestigious than the other? </p>

<p>I know both schools are (relatively) well represented in the Magic Circle, but does either confer any advantage in terms of employability? </p>

<p>What are these two schools comparable to in the US? </p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>I thin they are pretty much on a par. I would personally choose Nottingham. Both schools are enough to get you into a magic circle firm.</p>

<p>I would definitely pick Durham - more prestigious in UK and better known in US. Are you planning to work in UK/Europe?</p>

<p>@ Alyanj. Since when was Durham better known in the US? It’s barely on the radar for most people, my guess is that a similar amount of people who know of Durham will know of Nottingham.</p>
