I've been lurking on here since GCSEs.
I did ask on a thread whether I should firm Lancaster or Nottingham, and everyone said Nottingham, but I firmed Lancaster instead, because I loved it on the open day and the course was way more flexible.
I put Nottingham as my insurance though, so I suppose it influenced me a bit.
I'm kind of wish I asked more about what unis to apply to, as I feel I wasted 2 of my applications.
