Music Performance and Production at UEL?

I’m taking a gap year this year after getting into a university and realizing at the last minute that it would be too expensive as an international student. This year, I’m going to make another UCAS application and apply to programmes that are preferably less than £15k per year. I discovered UEL through The Guardian’s list of top music universities, where they were ranked at a considerably high #23. However, I’ve heard online that UEL is not so great as a university (especially in terms of lack of support which isn’t good since I have mental health issues). I want to know, though, if UEL would be worth going to just for their music performance and production degree.
