Colleges generally have better teaching, so you may be more likely to get high grades. You are also treated with a lot more respect. It's also a fresh start in an adult environment, which is a good practice run for university. The commute is probably something to factor in because it's time that could be spent studying.

If you go to a sixth form at the school you are currently at, you will know the teachers, most of your peers and will already be settled in there.

Thank you for the reply. do you know if it will be easier to get into a top university from a popular college or it doesn't really matter as long as I get the grades for uni

There's no difference in the likelihood of getting into university based on whether you go to sixth form or college, as long as you get the same grades.

However, the difference in teaching, as well as how happy you are there will affect your grades.
