    UCL or KCL or Manchester for Computer Science
    Hi,
    I have got all unconditional offers from UCL (MSc Advanced Computer Networks) and KCL (Msc Advanced Computing) and Manchester (MSc Advanced computer science). Me highly confused which university to accept. My main criteria is to get a well paying job after my degree.

    Kindly please provide me your valuable feedback and give me the order of preference of the Univ above?

    I'd take Manchester myself. Although UCL is generally regarded to be a better university overall, Manchester's arguably better for CS than UCL. Plus, London is going to be much more expensive than Manchester.

    That said, you'll probably have a better time living in London for a year. But as MSc students, we don't have time to be doing anything other than studying so that's kind-of a moot point!

    Disclosure: I have an offer for MSc Theoretical Computer Science, University of Edinburgh. Never got round to applying to Manchester, but I'm getting an application to Imperial ASAP.
