Chelsea UAL or Kingston: product and furniture design

I have offers from both for product and furniture design which is great but I’m stuck on deciding which one to accept, I really want to live in London and Chelsea is much more closer to central London compared to Kingston yet Kingston is still park of London.
The course I think that suits my interests best is Kingston. I don’t think the location for Kingston is awful but Chelsea would obviously be much better and also Chelsea uni is part of UAL which has lots of benefits.
I am stuck someone please help me I can give more info if needed !!

Hi @tedager1

Firstly congratulations on your offers!

For me personally the location of Kingston is something that I really like about the university. It feels like the best of both worlds as it is not as overwhelming and feels safer than central London but you can still enjoy the opportunities London has to offer and all the events happening there. I usually go into central at least once a week and last summer I managed to get an internship that I commuted to from Kingston.

You will be based at Knights Park campus, which has a collaborative atmosphere there is a river running alongside the campus which creates a nice outdoor social space, as well as the student bar being based there and a great library.
