UWE bristol or Salford for film?Or just not go uni at all

Heya, so I'm reaaly stuck between firming UWE Bristol and Salford to study filmmaking, i've been to both unis and its just maken me even more undecised ,Bristol seems like an amazing place to live , bloody expensive but near London which is where im from.But the course prospect, networking oppotunities and alumni at UWE just doesnt seem that good , while Salford seems to have really good equipment and loads of past students working in the industry and overall a decent uni, but its just so far away(manchester) which makes me not as interested in joining.TBH lately ive got an offer from all my chocies except LIPA, and even tho every course seems alright its like ive been feeling that none of those unis are the right place for me, thats makingme start wondering if uni is really the path i wanna take to get into the industry or even if doing film prodcution is the right decison since i can study whatever and still get a PA job when i graduate.Anyways any quick responses would be amazing since most accomodation for both unis.

Salford has a media centre. I don't think Bristol does. Are there any apprenticeships?
