Should I start my fashion degree over at LCF rather than continuing at Leeds

I study first year fashion marketing at uni of leeds right now, I applied to change to UAL for second year entry but got declined. I have an offer to study first year fashion management at london college of fashion. I’m stuck on whether to stick leeds through (although I don’t think it’s the greatest environment for fashion - I often feel isolated and like I’m making no connections), or to start over in london which is where I want to be after I graduate.
I know it’d be an extra year of fees but I’m beginning to think it’d be worth the change to have the world of fashion at my doorstep and be closer to where I want to be.
I’d appreciate any second opinions or advice maybe from people who’ve changed courses, go to ual or anyone really :smile:

LCF is way better for employment and recognition in the industry.

Hi I am thinking of firming Leeds for fashion marketing, can you please expand on your experience? I am aware that it is not as well connected as other universities for fashion.

What other art universities did you apply to for year 2 entry?
