Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

Southampton or York ? for Computer Science

I have got offers through adjustment from Southampton and York.

Now it's my turn to choose :smile:

Which uni should I go? I have been to both places and they are equally good and have the same reputation I guess?

I am planning to study Master in Artificial Intelligence after I graduate.

They both have A.I modules and it makes me more difficult to choose.

I know a couple of people who have been to university in Southhampton (for different courses) and really enjoyed it. They all reccomend it as a city and a couple were able to find part time jobs. I know nothing about York, so that probably doesn't help.

Have they told you anything about accomadation? Will either of them be able to give you a place in halls?

How easy will it be for you to travel home from each location?

If you want to do a masters at the same university, what are the research interests of proffessors at the universities? Obviously this may change (and your own interests may change) but it may help you chose if you are struggling.

York got a very slightly higher score on student satisfaction last year, but unfortunately there doesn't seem much to chose between them!
