Hi there,
Congrats on both of your offers!
I can't speak for Liverpool John Moores as a university, however from visiting Liverpool it has lots of tourist attractions, shopping areas, restaurants and student life - so lots to offer for a uni student. I'm sure there are lots of part time job opportunities too as it's a big city.
As I study at BCU I can tell you a bit more...
I love studying in Birmingham. It's similar to Liverpool as it has so many shops, restaurants, a great nightlife, and places to explore. As a student originally from a much smaller city, I've managed to feel comfortable here in Birmingham and now know my way around the city confidently. And there are also lots of transport links so you can always travel a bit further afield on your days off to explore!
I study fashion design, so a little different to your course. But I also study at the City Centre Campus where you would be studying. I love the BCU campus - there's student accommodation as close as 5-15 minutes walk away, the library is extensive and there's always space to study. There's loads of cafes and food outlets on campus so you'll never go hungry! And there's events taking place at uni almost every day, from clothes swaps to giveaways.
To help with your decision, I would firstly compare the course content and facilities, as your course should be the most important factor in your decision. If you're still stuck, try comparing the uni campuses, accommodation options and transport links, societies, other support the unis offer. And if you're still undecided, then start comparing cities.
If you have any more questions about BCU, ask away! And I can try my best to answer them!
All the best
