KPMG vs Durham?

I am in year 13 currently and have an offer from Durham (plus other unis but I will likely firm Durham) for Accounting and Finance +placement year and an Audit L7 Apprenticeship with KPMG where I will be ACA qualified after 5 years.

I am currently very stuck on what to decide and keep changing my mind!

I would move out for Durham but KPMG is very close to home and it would be far more economically viable to commute however I do want to move out (I am considering maybe moving after a year or 2 if i go with KPMG)

Any advice or ideas is very much appreciated, thank you!!

If i were in your shoes, i would go with KPMG, you can always go to uni, you can always move out, but you can’t always get an offer from KPMG.
