Should I change my option for reading to city university of London for accounting

Hi everyone, I’m thinking of pursuing accounting and finance and have already gotten offers from Southampton (BBB contextual and EPQ originally AAB). I have not gotten offers yet from Birmingham, Nottingham, QMUL and reading. And I’m thinking of changing reading for City since it’s in London and that’s where I live. Is that a good idea in terms of my future and employability? Or should I keep everything the same as it is or substitute one of my other options for City. Also to those who wonder why I’m doing a degree instead of degree apprenticeship it’s cas my parents ask me to and I said ok lol. My predictions are also AAA.

Do you want to live at home or leave the option open? That would be the major factor here unless the course at Reading is the Flying Start degree.

Hi, the one for reading is my insurance for the normal bachelors accountancy and finance degree ABB as the requirement. The reason why I didn’t pick the flying start from reading is because it’s a BA not a BSc and I wanted to do a more technical degree and not too much on business and management in accountancy. I’m just wondering if I should put two courses for QMUL for the flying start and the accountancy and finance. Or change the reading one for City since Southampton had already given me an offer for contextual so I no longer need the insurance from reading. Also I’d prefer to stay home.

As with your other post - drop QMUL a note and check last years threads for Flying Start applicants to see if you would get an offer from QM for their standard course if you don't get one for the Flying Start. Changing Reading to City might be a good move as it gives an extra option in London.
