I have recently firmed Cardiff for French and Italian (Woo another language applicant!!) and I am really excited to go there.
Have you already been to one of the two language and politics applicant days? (I went on Feb 15th)
In reality, you've got to decide which university you would be the happy to spend 3 years at (not including ERASMUS year.)
I decided on Cardiff long ago, so maybe I'm biased. However, I think that it is an ideal city for a student to live. Accommodation is cheap, nights out are cheap, it's a very sociable city, it's a Russel Group university, everything in the city is close to the university...
Do you want to spend 3 years of your life in Reading or in Cardiff? Obviously I'm leaning more towards Cardiff, but you have to make a list or something of the pros and cons of each university and see which one outweighs the other.
