hi guys I honestly need some advice for choosing my firm as I got unconditionals for diagnostic radiography at both.
Leeds is the top university for DRad, has amazing facilities and is a highly ranked university. The downsides is that is not as diverse (I’m a black girl) and it’s quite far from home, so transport to and from is quite expensive.
Leicester is very diverse, has a good social life and it’s a good university but diagnostic radiography is a new course there, so they don’t have any rankings or statistics cause no one has completed the course yet. Their facilities aren’t as good as Leeds but it’s close to home and the accommodations are nice(r than Leeds anyways). Also all the placements hospitals are in Leicester area so it won’t be too expensive or stressful.
As it’s a healthcare course and I’m pretty much guaranteed a job after, I’m not sure what factors to consider more or less. I also want to become an ultrasound technician in the future and I’m not sure if what university I go to could help with that in the future.
I am like 50/50 but I need to book accommodation ASAP so all help would be appreciated. Thank youuu
