The course content and your ability to get on with what you are learning is so much more important than either location or prestige! If you are at a prestigious uni or in a nice city, but find your course really boring, or really difficult, you are not going to have a good uni experience.

In my opinion, penryn is a very nice place to live and study. I really like my course so the nice beaches, nature reserves and Cornish wildlife are an added bonus!

Falmouth isn’t really a city, just a nice seaside, touristy town. There is only one city in Cornwall, Truro. It is roughly the same distance from the main campus as the centre of Falmouth is. About 25 minutes on the bus, or around 20 minutes by car. Some of the accommodation choices are nearer to Falmouth than the main campus, so this may be a smaller journey into the town if you don’t live in Glasney.

For jobs, you can apply for all of the food and drink jobs on campus using one application in September and there are plenty of pubs and shops in the Penryn Village (~10 mins from main campus) and in Falmouth/Truro.

I dont personally know a lot about Plymouth, but I have a friend who goes there. She loves it and says having the city nearby is very handy if you really need it. Plymouth is quite big, so depending on where you want to get to, most of the accommodation is between 5-30 minutes away from most things.
