A few questions...please help!

Heeeello.

Long story short, I'm a final year English student at Edge Hill who has applied for MH nursing for this September. I now have three offers from Manchester, Edge Hill and Leeds, however I am torn between EH and Manc...

1) Is driving as a student nurse important? The reason I ask is I am now in the position to either afford a car if I go to Edge Hill again (I'll live at home) or live in Manchester if I go there but not drive. For placement, is public transport a nightmare at all times of the day/night?

2) Any current students going to either of these have any advice? I am literally so torn on whether I be sensible and stay at home with a car, or enjoy having that new experience in Manchester (my family have now moved abroad so I think I would like a new start myself) but use my money for living?

ANY advice at all would be fantastic!

Driving as a student nurse is beneficial and certainly helps but its not essential. When I studied at Manchester I didn't drive and although I was up at 5.30 sometimes to travel to placement for early shifts the public transport was great and I had no problems with it.

Can't really say much about edge hill though. My cousin studies there and said its great but placements can be a bit scattered around the area and she is very dependent on her car, but I'm not sure if that's through necessity or through her preferences...

Ah thankyou for that!

How did you find affordability in Manchester, because accommodation is a lot dearer and nurses loans are reduced?
