Help with Uni choices for Computer Science

For context, I'm a home student predicted A* A* A in Maths, CS, and Physics.

My current uni choices are:
- King's
- Durham
- Manchester or Birmingham
- Queen Mary
- Surrey

I have two questions:
1) What do you think of my choices?
2) Should I put Birmingham or Manchester? At the moment, I have no strong preferences to either.

Merged your thread since you duplicated.

Good choices and a good spread. Have you looked at course content for both?

Even though the teaching standard is similar , Birmingham is much more likely to give you an offer than Manchester. Manchester is just far too competitive and you don't take Further maths
