Where to study psychology at uni?

I want to study psychology at uni but I don't know which uni's to look round and apply for. Does anyone study psychology at uni and particularly enjoy it or hate it? and where at?

What's your grades bracket?

Have you done your AS and if so, what were your results?

I do psychology with counselling at the university of bradford - and I have loved my first year and have to say I'm very pleased with the psychology department the university has.
We have our own student psychology society - which has been great in getting to know other students from all years doing psychology and psychology related degrees, as well giving each other aid and support with studies etc. Additionally, the lecturers and staff here are friendly and are always willing to help, which has helped made my first year run smoothly and without problems.

As for which university, it all depends on what you're looking for:
- is that uni renowned for that department
- does the university have ties with relevant industry and forms of employment
- does that uni offer the particular course you're looking (in my case when I was applying, I was looking for universities that specifically offered psych w/ counselling)
- what are the uni's entry requirements
- how far away it is

Excluding Oxbridge, the best uni for psychology is Bath. (A*AA)

I don't go, although you have the uni ranking sites for best info. Updated every year.
