uni of notts or uni of leeds

i’m having a huge conflict about where i actually want to go to university.
i’ve always been so so excited about the thought of going to uni, being independent, having great nights out, making new friends and studying psychology which i am so interested in and can’t wait to advance into a career within.
i went to the nottingham open day and fell in love with the campus, also my corse looks amazing there because they have a lot of clinical psychology topics which i what k want to do. however, on the open day i didn’t rlly go into the city which in hindsight i defo should have. i’m feeling unsure it would be a nice place to actually live? also, i know it’s a tik tok stereotype but all im seeing is how notts girls are feral- and don’t get me wrong i will love a good night out and thats somthing i rlly want from a uni city- however i do have a boyfriend and not sure i want to be surrounded by the stereotype i keep seeing.
on the other hand im debating leeds- the city looks unreal and so so much fun. im going to their offer holder day with a friend on wednesday so ill see what i think of the actual uni when i go. the corse doesnt appeal to me as much from what ive seen, but all psychology corses are generally pretty similar, its more the optional modular that differ. i’m thinking i might prefer leeds as a place to live but then im unsure at the moment.
any advice please let me know!!

Hi there,
I don't know much about Nottingham or Leeds, but hopefully I can help a little.
I'd definitely recommend taking some time to do your own research. What can Nottingham and Leeds offer you in terms of the city? Looking online can help you here, but just be mindful of certain things on platforms such as TikTok, which may not be accurate of the entire student experience. Aside from the course, you might want to think about: the kind of things would you get involved in; the places you'd like to visit; the distance from your home, and the facilities on campus and in the city.
It might also be useful to talk to current students, which you can do through UniBuddy. You can ask about the course, student life, and about their experiences in the time that they've spent there. I've linked Leeds here.
Also, just remember that stereotypes may not be totally accurate. I'm sure there are so many people that are the complete opposite to what you are seeing, it just depends who you choose to spend your time with! While the student life experience does play a part, finding a course that you are going to be happy with for the next three years is vital.
I hope this helps,
