Need advice urgently

don’t know what to do at all I genuinely feel like I’ve failed as a person.

I’m an A* student predicyed a*a*a to get a*ad in the real thing 😭 the D I genuinely believe isn’t fair so I’ve sent it for remark and I feel stupid when I explain to people that I KNOW I did not get a D

My firm choice uni declined me but I got into my insurance but don’t wanna go there so I rejected it and found a place at royal Holloway in clearing but I’m being honest I don’t think I’d like being there it’s in the middle of nowhere in a small village in surrey and not diverse (I’m black and Muslim)
I also don’t want to resit , my home life is not the best and has impacted my mental health so I genuinely do not know what to do other than wait for the remark , I feel so alone and depressed genuinely what do I do :frown:

if anyone has any advice that would be appreciated

I'm so sorry. Please try to remember that academics aren't the be all and end all of life -- whenever I've spent some time away from school, eg. programming during the summer, it helps me keep perspective and realise that not doing school is viable. You could take a gap year and reapply, and you could have a fun gap year doing work experience, which would be an excuse to be away from home -- if you could find the funding. I really hope it's okay, sending my very best wishes

for future reference, please use the title to describe WHAT advice you need so that people can better assist you

especially since this does not sound like a particularly urgent situation and you definitely have time to weigh up your options and take your pick

- RH is still a good university. what are you studying?
- do you really want to spend another year wait to reapply? if so, you;ll want a plan like #1 said
- how good was your firm choice in comparison?
- egham is kind of expensive, but it's not exactly a small village and no matter where students go, they always have fun
- you could look for another university in clearing if not
