Which should i choose for my insurance choice?

I've recently been given offers from all my choices for Civil engineering by UCL, Uni of Bristol, Durham, Bath, and Queens Belfast (Bath and Queens come with a year in industry), I'm planning on firming UCL but I'm not sure what to choose for my insurance, if anyone could provide some advice on what to choose It would be very helpful.

Something that has a lower grade requirement would be sensible.
I would encourage you to go to the applicant visit days/offer holder days to get a more detailed understanding of the course and the practicalities of living there.
Don't rush into any decisions, you've got until June to decide what you want to do.

Do you mean that they all, including UCL, have the same grade requirements? Because in that case to be honest it really doesn’t matter what you choose - if you don’t get into your firm you can’t go to your insurance instead as you would have missed the grades for that as well, so don’t stress too much on the decision.

So you are going to pick your insurance. Hopefully you go to your firm. Just in case you missed your grades, some "no so good" had happened. Your insurance is for the no so good, or a bit worse than no so good.

Maybe you could do some research into the previous admission statistics of the unis from UCAS, to see which is the most lenient.

For example,the lowest grades accepted by Bath were ABB:

All the 4 unis are good for Civil Engineering.

"Bath and Queens come with a year in industry" - any work placement will add heaps to your graduate CV.
Both these would be likely to accept you if you just missed your grades in August.
Belfast will be vastly cheaper than Bath (which has rents similar to London prices) - and honestly, Belfast would be a great deal more fun than Bath.
