Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

Which University should I pick?

So decision time...

I've picked from Manchester, Liverpool and Aston university for someplace local.

Queens Mary and Goldmith's (why Goldsmith's I don't know...) for somewhere far away from home
Obviously London.

Which one should I pick for my chosen course Psychology?

I mean now that I think about it I value having a great, memorable time above everything so which city would be best?

- Friendly people
- Great food
- Different cultures
- Tons of activities and places to hang out
- Beautiful area in general

What would you say?

Aston has a beautiful campus in the heart of Birmingham. It's also renowned for its employability records

You need to visit them and ask current student of their opinions rep counts for little if it's the wrong uni for you :smile:

Aston is #1 doe. Manchester is RG which should bare merits in your decision making process. I would narrow it down to the two.

I'd go for Aston. Birmingham is a nice place to be, a lot of opportunities there.

I'd go for Liverpool. People are very friendly, it's great place to go out and the rent will be quite cheap.

I did my Masters in London and I really wasn't happy there (not at Queen Mary or Goldsmith's but the university was fine, I just really didn't like London). Make sure you visit the universities before you make a decision.

I chose Manchester over Liverpool and Queen Mary and i'm glad that I did.

Make sure you go and visit all of course.

Big mistake

Manchester > all the unis you've applied to. I'd personally narrow it down to Aston and manchester.

So is Queen Mary and Liverpool?

OP, I'd probably go for Manchester

Are you serious?

It's a horrible campus imo, it was one of my choices and I did consider going there until I visited the campus. I was immediately put off, and never looked back on Aston.

Lol, my two good friends who transferred here from Liverpool would agree with my choice.

Why did they transfer?

That wasn't the issue for me. It was more to do with the fact that the uni was thrown in the middle of Birmingham, when I was there I felt surrounded with no breathing space.
