Imperial is because I don't want to live in London for 4 years. I admit it's a very good degree, but I simply wouldn't want to live there.
Also I ruled out Oxbridge because it's simply not something I aspire for, I don't want to go to Oxbridge full stop.
And yeah in Manc's 2011 prospectus it says AAA as does UCL. I'll definitely look into Nottingham and Leeds though!
Can anyone give me any more information about these two, if they've studied/applied there about why they did/what it's like?!
