Im currently a first year Law student at the University of Reading. Dont get me wrong I can see quite a lot of the positive aspects of being a student here. This university has a pretty decent reputation for Law and offers a lot of opportunities (which i haven't really made use of) but my home city is Manchester and its abput 3 hours and a half away on train. I'm honestly pretty badly homesick and I feel that has been made worse with the fact that im in private accomadation. Basically i have gotten an offer to study 2nd year law after this year at the University of Keele which is about an hour away from manchester and costs 40 quid less for a return train ticket . Considering how important reputation is for law I was wondering if it would be worth it for me to transfer into a lower ranked University just to be able to visit home on the weekends and save a lot of money.
