My university choices I can't decide!! Physics student btw

Hi, I am currently applying to Oxford, Bath, birmingham, bristol and cannot choose whether to put durham in as a choice as it has everything I want from a university and is super high on the rankings. I already have an A* im mathematics doing it a year earlier and am predicted (A*,A) in my other 2 subjects f.maths and physics. However, the problem is it's soo far I live in south wales so it's around 9 hrs drive away just wondering if there's any durham students who can tell me about whats the travelling like?
