Hello,

I am an international student, and I have been admitted to the University of Manchester and Edinburgh to study MSc In Marketing. Since both universities have similar ranks, course contents, and tuition, I am facing a strong dilemma to decide; thus, would you please help me which university I am recommended to choose? Also, if you could provide pros and cons of each city, I will be thankful.

I really appreciate your responses.

Kind regards,
Moataz

A book about Manchester:
''The definitive account of the pop cult capital of the UK by Dave Haslam, one of Manchester's top DJs and journalists. Manchester, a predominantly working-class city, away from the nation's capital, has been at the margins of English culture for centuries. The explosion of music and creativity in Manchester can be traced back from Victorian music hall and the jazz age, to Northern Soul and rock and roll, through to acid house and Oasis. But its roots are in Manchester's history as a melting pot of popular idealism and dissent, from the industrial revolution on, via film, theatre, comedy and TV. And for Manchester, read England and the world. Dave Haslam is uniquely placed to tell this story - Manchester, England is as witty, erudite and passionate as you would expect from a man who can say, again and again, "I was there." Like Jon Savage's England's Dreaming, this is the last word on the abiding centre of 40 years of UK pop culture.''

Edinburgh, being the capital of Scotland, is more traditional, I think, steeped in history and an 'old town' section. I'm over 70 and would go there, but you are young! You decide.
