Which University?

Hi everyone,
I am a mature student that's applied to study chemistry via access to HE science diploma.
I have applied to the following universities:
uni of manchester, uni of Bristol, UCL, uni of Nottingham and uni of Leeds.
I have so far received an offer from manchester.
I know I am still to receive offers from elsewhere but I truly believe and hope I will get offers for everywhere else eventually.

I am having a hard time working out which university I would like to attend, however, I am struggling to choose between manchester, bristol and UCL.

My offer from manchester is 39 distinctions which I think is actually extremely high and I am worried I will not get high enough grades to attend there.
Bristols website states that its normally 30 distinctions, whereas UCL is 24 distinctions.

I don't really think there's much in it between these universities for chemistry? Is anyone able to guide me a bit more on this?
obviously, there is quite a large difference between 39 distinctions to study at manchester against UCL's 24.
But is the extra costs of living in London worth it for a chemistry degree from UCL as I know that's seen as the most prestigious of the three.

Any opinions would be greatly appreciated, thanks everyone :smile:
