Hello everyone.

I have received offers from Liverpool and Loughborough MBA and am wondering which one I should go for.

The two have very similar rankings and similar tuition fees.

I am not that concerned about the visibility of the university as I plan to return to Asia after graduation. This means that I have no intention of spending even more time and aiming for Cambridge, for example.

So what I am interested in is the local reputation and how easy it is to live there.

In general, which is the better MBA programme?

If you're going to spend a year in an MBA, you should get into the best school you can: the quality of the cohort and the experience improves massively. Durham and Lancaster, for example, are only a little harder to get into but are massively higher quality. 

If those were the only two options, I would pick Loughborough: students are famously happy there; it's a real campus experience; much better weather; a far safer town; close to London and their London campus might add some value too.
