[Civil Eng]Which is better? Manchester or Sheffield?

I am wondering which school is good to study in.
Sheffield is better in civil engineering, but a lot worse than Manchester in overall ranking.

I dont know how to choose

Have your friend encountered any crime so far?
I was told that the crime rate in Manchester is really high.

I'm a Manchester student too, and whilst crime does occur, I've never personally felt threatened (and nor, to my knowledge, has the friend I mentioned earlier). I don't believe that it's any worse than any other big city, and there's a mantra that should be followed: don't be an idiot. Don't walk through the park at night, alone, flashing your iPhone whilst drunk, for instance. If you do, you may very well run into trouble. But actually, if you follow really basic personal safety advice then you should be absolutely fine.
