Tbh unless you are very wealthy you should probably go with the home fees over something 3-4x the price.

If you are interested in aerospace careers id say Sheffield has the best rep & Bath for automotive but the fee differences far outweigh the subtle reputation differences.

I would double check you definitely qualify for home fees at one uni and not all of them (this seems odd to me).

Yeah I’ve already appealed most of them but they still said no idk why. But I’m just wondering if saving the extra money is worth it and whether there’s actually a big difference between them in terms of employability and stuff. Money isn’t a significant problem but saving money would still be worth it and it is a lot of money. Mainly just wondering how big the difference really is between Exeter and places like Manchester and Sheffield.

It's absolutely not worth paying £30k when you can pay £9k.
