Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

Uni of Manchester vs Newcastle?

I have offers from both and am unsure which to pick. (BA geography at both)
Manchester:
AAB
Only about an hour away from home
Really liked the course
Know the city well
High ranking for graduate employment
Really good study abroad options
Awful expensive accommodation
Did not feel as comfortable here

Newcastle:
AAB
3.5hrs away from home
Also really liked the course
Felt comfortable and at home there
Nice cheaper accom
Don't know the city but seems friendly and lively
High student satisfaction
Has the option for study abroad but at unis that don't have the international reputation
Less prestigious
Less employment prospects

I initially was set on firming Newcastle but I am starting to reconsider due to Manchester's reputation

Essentially, you're leaning more towards Newcastle for various social and personal reasons but you're not confident of it's prospects, in comparison to Manchester. Spend some more time in Manchester (before you make your decision, if possible) and you'll probably be more comfortable with it. If not, then just go to Newcastle.
