Struggling to decide between Manchester and Leeds

Hi @ArchieLJ05,

The best advice to give when trying to decide on what university is to ask yourself some questions:
Why have I chosen to apply for this university?
What are the differences within modules available?
Have you been to any open days and if so what did you think - can you see yourself there?
Is it campus or city based?
Would you be living in accommodation - if so which do you prefer?

Some other advice would be to make a pro's and con's list for both and see what things appear on this and if there are any dealbreakers such as if it is too far from home or that for one of the universities has a module that you are really interested in for example.

Hope that helps! Hopefully Leeds and Manchester can give you some assistance as well! :smile:

Leeds wins hands down as per student life is concerned. Leeds is a lovely city, safe for students and the uni campus is great. Manchester's campus is just a long road - Oxford Road.

Obviously, you have said nothing about the course so that is another factor.

You should come up and visit both cities - they are 1 hour apart.
