Urgent help is needed!

hello everybody!
I am a 17 years old girl from Iran. I decided to move to UK to go to a college there and study further.
I am not very familiar with the quality of colleges there so i need help!
i want a good college for the Alevel course. The city is not important. can someone please suggest some good colleges?
ps: i want to study medicine in the Uni.
thank you very much.
Are you moving here as in having a UK passport and all your family here (I doubt that's the case cuz you say the city is not important) or are you studying abroad? If it's the latter, try google "international college A Level UK". If it's the former, anywhere near London should be fine I guess.

I think there's Cardiff College, Bellerbys College, Abbey College, but I'm not so sure. The tuition fee is really high for these schools though (~30,000 for 2 years I think), so if possible you should find a school in your country who teach A Level or self-study and be a private candidate.

UTC Health Futures in West Brom is a very good college which specialises in sciences. Their examboard is also very easy (they do edexcel) which means that you can get higher grades easier
This really depends on your living budget? For example, London is normally a first choice for most, but it's very expensive to live in. Also, have you looked into the costs of doing A-Levels as an international student? They normally start from £7,000 depending on where you go. Just something else you might not have considered.
