Should I switch 6th forms to do A level Maths?

My current 6th form isn't offering me A level maths as I got a grade 6 in maths. So if I wanted to do it I would have to start next year after I resit maths GCSE. However I have gotten an offer to take a level maths at another 6th form but it's around an 1.5hours away and i would have to take 2 trains compared to my current sixth form (30 minute walk). Would staying an extra year affect my uni applications or would unis look down upon me having to stay an extra year? I currently take chemistry, biology and computing (which i would switch for math)

What do you want to apply for at uni? Fine if you’re unsure but do you have any ideas of the fields you would want to go into?
Do you enjoy maths and believe you can do well? A 6 isnt a very high grade for starting a level maths so you’ll have to be really passionate about the subject and work very hard if you choose to take it.
Do you enjoy computer science?
