What university should I go to? (international student!)

Hello everyone.

I am an international student on a gap year and I'd like to study in the UK.

I can choose between Glasgow Caledonian, Napier, Northumbria, and Hull university. I applied for Marketing at all of them and got offers.

I have visited all those cities. Out of all of them I like Glasgow the most, (I also have some friends there already), followed by Newcastle, Edinburgh and then Hull.

The thing is, I have looked at online charts and opinion of those universities I have applied to, but even after research there are a lot of conflicting opinions and I don't know what the REAL difference between getting a degree from one or the other is.

I would like to go to Caledonian the most. First of all because I absolutely love the city, second of all because I would also save £36000.

It is not very high in the charts, but my friends from Glasgow told me that even though it is not as prestigious as other universities it is good to study at and won't have more problems than others finding a job.

Is that true? If that is true I'd definitely go to Glasgow.

But if one of the universities that accepted me were to be far, far better than the others and open many more doors for my future then I'd reconsider.


Thanks a lot everyone for your time.
