Advice Wanted!

As some of you will know the deadline for making a uni choice on UCAS rapidly approaches, (6th May i.e. 2 days away!) and I can't decide! I have two equally good choices and my list of pros and cons seem relatively equal. Anyone willing to give an outside perspective would be greatly appreciated.

Uni One
- Better Facilities, (accommodation and sporting facilities ect)
-The uni is right at the heart of the city and it's a great city.
- Better reputation which means better graduate prospects, higher starting salary et
- more clubs and societies to get involved in.
but ....
-I don't like the course or the library as much and both are high on my list of priorities.
- The students have a reputation for being snobby (obviously I don't know if this is accurate)

Uni Two
-Better course- it appears to be more dynamic and more modern and more in line with my interests.
-My best friend since I was 4 is going there so at least I will know someone!
- Fantastic Library
- Supposedly has the better nightlife
-Uni 2 is a five year course instead of a four as is typical in Scotland which I like because it means I have longer to work out what I want to do after uni!
-It's the one I have always wanted to go to
but....
-Accommodation is pretty iffy and far out from the city centre. It's almost in a student quarter and I don't know what that is like.

I have been debating between the two for so long it's driving me crazy. Any advice on making the right choice for you would be greatly appreciated. I have asked friends and family but I'm not sure they are really thinking about where would be best FOR ME. Rather than just which is the better uni. I'm very conscious this is probably the biggest decision I have had to make yet and I don't want to regret it.

So the consensus appears to be that the course is more important than the place?
