Hi there,

I'm trying to decide what is a better university and what to go for in in September 2015. I've been offered a conditional offer at both universities so it's just weighing up the pros and cons. Please let me know what you think of the university in terms of accommodation, student life and cost of living in the city.

I would preferably live in halls as I've been told it's a much better Uni experience and you can socialise with your hall mates better. I do drive but it isn't absolutely essential there be a car park space there (although I would prefer). I'm also studying computer science so wherever that may be studied at the University, if it's quite far from the halls, I would like to drive there.

Let me know what you think and I'll add more information about myself if required...

Thanks

Luke

Sheffield hallam, 10/10

Having received all my responses from UCAS, It has come to the moment that I have to finally make a decision of where to go; however this decision is proving to be incredibly hard. Im looking for some information/ honest reviews on Edge Hill, Winchester and Falmouth Uni's. I'm looking to study Film and Television production so reviews on this specific courses would be even more helpful.

Thank you!
Go on WhatUni.com. You can find reviews for the Uni's as well as filter them by subject. All are done by students and some are rated so you can see which reviews are most helpful :h:

None. Study extra hard and go through adjustment.
Real talk.

Hey, am doing my master at BCU on Television production and i really really enjoy this course. BCU has a really good media school now we have new studios and facilities. You should check our page maybe you will find anything helpful. If you have any question ask me :smile:

Hi! :smile:

I was wondering which of the universities I applied to are the most highly regarded by employers, citizens of the UK:

- University of Manchester
- King's College London
- University of Glasgow
- University of St. Andrews
- University of Edinburgh

Also, how prestigious is the University of Manchester? Any information is hugely appreciated. :biggrin:

Edit: I'm not from the UK, that's why I'm asking. :smile:

I applied for Philosophy at KCL & Manchester and for Philosophy & Psychology at the other universities. :smile:
Surely it's Edinburgh...

They've all got excellent reputations.

Look for the one where you think you will be happiest. Think about
- which uni's modules do you prefer?
- do you want to live in a small rural town (ie St Andrews) or a large city
- do you prefer the structure of Scottish or English degrees?
- can you afford to live in London?

I've merged a few recent threads into here - hopefully the conversation matches up. :smile:
Northumbria vs Sheffield Hallam???

Ummm.....the OP did not include the QS World University Rankings and The Guardian League Table...I wonder why.
I'm stuck between University of Manchester, University of Southampton, University of York & University of Sheffield for Electrical & Electronic Engineering?
Any thoughts?

I literally only did a few that came to mind. I'll add them in now - obviously I can't have an exhaustive list of all the rankings as there are so many websites that do this nowadays! :h:

To be honest, I'd absolutely love to study at King's. However, as I'm from Europe, studying in Scotland ''only'' costs 2000 GBP compared to England which costs 9000 GBP... I just don't know whether it's worth it to live and study in a city I enjoy most OR to have a lot less debt at the end of my study.
