Please i need help with firm and insurance choices!!!

Beyond league tables (which are a poor thing to base your decision on), which one do you prefer?

I dont prefer either of them, i like both thats why im so confused!

However i've been on a open day for southampton and got a proper feel of the uni.
With QM i just visited, it wasnt an actual open day so i didnt get an insight into the actual degree programme but from the outline it seems pretty decent.

Its mainly the idea of moving out and leaving my mum (im extremely close to her) and leaving city life behind.

Go for Southampton, since it's a new course in Queen Mary, and their teaching quality and contents are a bit of a mystery, so you might be better off to go to Southampton in terms of their reputation and future employment. (higher chance of getting into a better uni for Master if you start off with a highly ranked uni!)

Besides, yes, I know it's important to have a close relationship with your family, but you can't live with your mum forever. You need to try to leave independently and going to Southampton will be the best option. Besides, it's not so far to travel from Southampton to London, so you can visit your mum during the holidays. if you are really desperate, you can always ring home or something.

Good luck, hope it helps!

Makes more sense to firm Southampton. The main disadvantage of an insurance is getting a worse/ no pick of accommodation, which won't affect you. It's also a safer bet since it's a well established course.
Are the offers the same?
