    Help please :)
    Hi I need help with deciding on a uni.

    I'm a mature international student and I will be starting a foundation year this September, however I am having trouble deciding on a uni & it would be great help if anyone can tell me more about the uni/program/city for the unis I've been accepted to since I am not able to visit them myself.
    The unis are:
    Exeter
    Bournemouth
    Glasgow
    And St. Andrews

    The program is a international foundation program.

    Many thanks!

    No idea about the courses, obviously St. Andrews has the best reputation as a uni, with Exeter and Glasgow not far behind, but as a place to live I would choose Bournemouth, you're under 2 hours from London, there's nice beaches and a really good night life. Bournemouth is a good uni, but obviously not in the same league as the other 3, although I'm not sure how much rankings matter on a 1 year foundation course, I'm guessing they will be more important when you go on to a degree programme next year.

    If you want prestige with international diversity, St. Andrews, Exeter and Glasgow are the better options. Bournemouth is lower in the league table rankings in comparison to the other three.
