Switching courses on ucas

I recently switched one of my choices to a uni with lower grade boundaries from one where id applied for two courses. I now have recieved an unconditional from another uni so i was wondering if it would reflect badly if i changed the choice again back to the original courses? Should i leave it? Will they take it into account as me being indecisive or will it be fine?

I feel like they wouldn't mind if you had changed your mind, as it's a big decision to make, so just go for whatever you feel comfortable with!

If its a course switch at the same Uni, email the Uni and ask asap.
If you are trying to switch Unis on a choice, and its more than 14 days since you applied, unfortunately you are stuck with what you have chosen.

You can only substitute each choice once.
That means you can't just substitute a second time back to the original university (assuming you're still within 14 days) - you would need to substitute one of your other choices to the original university instead.
