Unsure on which uni to pick

3

I have just finished my A-Levels and achieved ABB but I have been offered a place for maths and statistics through clearing at the Univeristy of Leeds and I have also been offered a place at queen mary's for maths and stats through clearing as well and also I have been offered a place for Maths and Stats at university city of london. I would like some advice on which univerisity I should pick as I live in London so University of Leeds is very far from where I live and I am concerned if I will be able to adapt to working there and doing well there as I am away from home and could feel homesick but Leeds is a better university and is a russel group university and the course appeals to me much more and the bachelor's degree is more valuable. However for city of london and qmul they are both very close to where I live and I am able to come work at home so it is more convenient for me. I would like some advice on what I should do and which university should I pick. I also only have 48 hours maximum to accept the place.

i would say come to leeds! this might be a bit biased because i am going there but if you like the course and can see the degree is more valuable then i would choose leeds over the other choices. first of all, this will help you in the long run in terms of getting graduate jobs as they are super competitive and also you need to enjoy the degree that you want to do otherwise it is a waste of £9000. now, i am not saying the other courses at qmul and city of london aren't good or that you wouldnt enjoy them, however i have heard the qmul is not a good uni in terms of the teaching which is what deterred me from applying there in the first place for IR. also, it is nice to work at home but one aspect of uni is making friends and socialising which will help u so much after graduation and i think being so close to home might make you feel disjointed from what your friends are doing as they might all be living in halls and most of the socialising is done there. additonally, leeds is super chill and there is sooo many people and places that can help you settle in and you'll meet people you will be in the exact same boat as you!! i am moving from oxford, so also super far from me but sometimes that is just a sacrifice you have to make. anyways, hope it all goes well
