Help me choose what uni to go to pls

Hi guys so I have an offer from Uni of Manchester to study cognitive neuroscience and psychology - AAA and i have an offer from Uni of leeds for psychology- AAB or ABB if i firm.

My predicted grades are AAB, im just really indecisive of what uni i should firm and insure. I like the course in manchester as i like more bio based psych but i also like Leeds as it has a good balance between social, developmental and biological psych. I live in Manchester so i kinda wanted a new start but I could just live in Fallowfield- which ive never been, I also wanna be a clinical psychologist or do work in labs. So im torn cause ik Manchester is more prestigious and i have an option to do work with harvard but i also love leeds and have the option to do an intergrated masters- which would save me from the stress of paying 12.5k for masters. Im just scared if leeds isnt diverse as a black girl.

PLS HELPP

You have a firm and insurance choice for a reason. If you think there's a chance you can obtain AAA (and there's a chance you get in even with AAB - plenty of people come in one grade below their offer even for top universities) and you don't want turning down Manchester becoming a case of 'what if'

Integrated masters can be a pretty good perk if money concerns you but be sure to weigh it up in the context of how it might affect your outcomes long term
