Hi again,
Sorry its been so long since the first post, been doing exams..
So I basically thought it through and chose manchester in the end. Yes Warwick is slightly more prestigious but for computer science manchester is definitely more reputable. It also has a world ranking of 30 (

I found that link of FINALMH really usefull :
http://www.highfliers.co.uk/download/GMReport11.pdf It shows what employers are looking for and how certain job sectors are doing in the world right now.
Another benefit manchester had which warwick didnt was that they really help you out if you want to do industrial placement. Apparently they have a site where all the companies post their vacancies and they correspond with them for you so that you get a place. Warwick do not help you with this and for an industrial placement you need to find it yourself.
Last but not least the city. I love the city of manchester, it seems quite young and alive and theres always something going. I've visited both universities about 2 months ago and manchester seemed like the place to be.
Also the fact that companies seem to love manchester graduates is also a plus.
Thanks for all the input, I've asked this question several times before and never really got some good feedback!
GOOD LUCK FOR THE FUTURE!!!
Andrew
