Uni of Derby or Coventry Uni
I'm struggling to pick between these two for Occupational therapy. At first I was leaning towards Coventry because when I went to visit them I like the Uni and felt as the staff there were really sweet. But then I think that Derby is good for me due to applying for jobs in the future. The thing is I'm a bit confused on the travel there (Leicester). I know for a fact I wont be able to wake up three to two hours early when the time comes and I also cant figure out how to get there. For Coventry I think its a 1h 40m, they also said placement is based near us.

Why do you think Derby is better for applying for jobs? The NHS won't care where you got your degree from and all OT courses are held to the same standard by the HCPC.
According to Google maps, you can get a train from Leicester to Derby (which takes 21 mins) and then bus U1 to the campus (10 mins). Around 48 mins total with wait times and a bit of walking. (On Google maps, type University of Derby in the search bar, click directions, type in Leicester, and then click on the train symbol for public transport options.)
Coventry Uni is around 1 hr 10 mins by bus (X6). The train seems to take longer.
