Surrey or city for computer science

Hello I am an international,
I got unconditional computer science offer from university of surrey. And a foundation offer from city, university of london.
Which one should I pick? On the one hand I will study for 4 years(city) and 3 years on the other.
And another important thing is I have the chance to live in a relative's house in central london. If I pick surrey it will be a 1.5 hour train ride. If I pick city it will be about 50 minutes bus ride.

You've written about the length of the two courses and your commute to each. Are those your primary considerations?

What about the universities themselves? Or the course (both mandatory and optional modules)?

If the courses and universities are equal in your mind then you're trading a shorter commute at City for a shorter course at Surrey. I think only you can decide which of those is more important to you.

Do you expect to live with relatives for for full duration of either course? Of might you opt to share a house/flat with people you meet in the course after the first year? I assume you've ruled-out university accommodation during your first year?

Personally, I'd take the shorter course.

Well,
Surrey is actually better than city in nearly all of the rankings. It is in top 10 for computer science in the uk. Surrey is better in terms of education quality but it is a little more expensive for a year, but in total they will cost nearly the same if I choose to stay in uni accomodation of surrey. So, for now I consider location and cost. Which one would you pick if you were me? Also consider I will work part time at some point to support my family

What is the extra fourth year at City?

If it were me, I'd choose Surrey but would stay in uni accommodation for the first year to avoid that 90-minute commute (and allow me to have a more uni-centred social life). I'd then plan to move into a shared house/flat in subsequent years.

In making that decision I haven't taken account of your "Also consider I will work part time at some point to support my family" comment, mainly because I don't know what to do with that information. Will they be coming to the UK with you, so will be living with you? Or is this really about spending as little as possible to ensure you can send as much home as possible?

OP says, "And a foundation offer from city, university of london."

So the extra year is a foundation year.

Nope they aren't coming here. I will work to cover some of my living expenses to support them financially. I said it because, you know, I wasn't sure if I choose to stay in London would the 90-minute commute be a problem for part-time working
