Hello, my name is Alkaram and I received offers for a second year entry of Computer Science BSc. programme (transfer student from Jordan). from both the University of Sussex and the University of Brighton. Difference in my case is that I have to take the extra placement year between second and third year in Sussex Uni due to the overseas fees that I am going to struggle a bit with. However, in Brighton Uni I need not do that because I am able to fund my studies there. I am hesitant on which decision to make, is the extra time and fees worth it in Sussex over Brighton? I am a British citizen but I have been living in Jordan almost all my life hence the overseas criteria. Thanks
