I am currently studying at Nottingham, out of the five you mentioned I only applied here.
I also took a foundation year but at Ravensbourne and if CSM is anything like it, I guess it is because the course is marked by UAL, then it basically follows a similar pattern but obviously with more detail and more criteria to fill.
I chose Nottingham because I liked that their course didn't veer towards being extremely arty or technical, that it had a strong focus on environmental design, the course reputation, the university's reputation, the international links it has (with campuses in Malaysia and China) and the studios (which at the time of accepting I thought were great, now not so much).
The campus is definitely very pretty, the best out of the ones I chose, but it didn't factor highly in my decision. One thing that I do not like is the size of the year group, there are simply too many people for the spaces we are allocated.
The course itself is, in my opinion, a good mix of art and technicality though does lean slightly towards practicality rather than the fanciful designs some courses prefer.
