City/Campus uni cross. Pretty self-explainatory, whilst the whole uni is conveniently situated on one site - student accomodation and the city centre are never more than a 10/15 minute walk away. I (personally) felt the CS campus at York was a little isolated, and the city in general (whilst lovely) just didn't capture me like Manchester did. This hugely personal though, and is more down to your gut instinct that anything else.
•
Course content. As the largest Computer Science department in the country - Manchester can afford to run many courses that smaller universities cannot. This, combined with the fact that Manchester is a world-leading Computer Science research department, meant that the breadth and quality of the courses on offer was (again - in my opinion) superior to York.
•
Department size. I've mentioned that Manchester is a very large department - but at interview days was very aware of their size. Concerns about contact hours/individual attention were and have been baseless.
•
Industry programs. Whilst York does offer these - I wasn't overly impressed with the careers department during my visits there. Both Bath and Manchester have excellent reputations with employers - with Manchester alumni employed in pretty much every field imaginable.
