Need to make a decision: RHUL vs QMUL vs UoB vs Durham CS

Future career opportunities in CS are not enhanced by you 'being in London'. Yes, its cheaper if you can live at home, but are you going to miss out on other aspects of Uni life because of this. You could easily get a p/time job in Durham or Brum - or work in the holidays. And btw, most Unis will not allow undergrad students to park cars on campus.
Which course do you prefer. Have you looked at all the optional units in all years of each course and thought about what you would actually choose if you went there. This is important - its the course that will be studying every day for the next 3 or 4 years. So even if you are living at home etc, if the course isnt actually interesting you, its going to be a miserable few years. If any of the courses have a placement year (I'm not sure what you mean be 'squeeze myself onto one') or study abroad, this is definitely a major plus, especially for a STEM degree.

I know nothing about computer science or the other unis, but be aware that parking at RHUL is limited and not easy to come by. Definitely check whether you'd be eligible to park on campus (there are certain rules about this, not anyone/everyone can bring and park a car on campus) before seriously considering firming or insuring it. Also be aware that free, unrestricted parking around the uni is rather scant and the council is trying to change the rules around this, making it even harder!

Also, just checked this and apparently anyone above 1.5 miles away is eligible for a parking permit. I am well over 10 times that so I should be good. Did some extra research and public transport takes 3 times longer than the car and is almost equal in price.

If it was within a few miles I'd probably cycle or walk 😭 I'm just stressing about this decision so bad because I feel silly for not picking UoB or Durham when they're the top 10ish institutions in the country for cs.

Hi, I've got my offers for Computer Science from Royal Holloway, Queen Mary, University of Birmingham, and Durham Uni with predicted grades A*AA.
I've gone to the applicant visit day for each, and am just lost as to what to firm.
I am leaning towards the London Universities, since I live here and can afford to stay here.
For UoB and Durham, my parents are earn enough to put my household above the income for all the bursaries, but money is going to be a significant struggle for me at these universities. My maintenance loan won't cover the accommodation at either alone, which means I'd have to find a job there. I could probably just make it through the first year on savings from my last two years of working, but it feels sketchy and feels like I'd just be barely getting by.
I've went to all the applicant visit days, and I feel like RHUL did their best out of all of them. I somewhat liked the course at QMUL but that uni genuinely felt like it was less maintained than my secondary school, and that place was bad... Royal Holloway had a campus that's a short car commute for me (I'd have to buy a car and get insurance, which is expensive, but still approximately 50-80% of what accommodation would cost at the ones away from home). UoB's and Durham's campuses were great, and the courses were okay.
I don't want to "throw away" the "good" unis, but I also don't want to cripple myself financially for when i finish university. I plan to go straight into industry, maybe do a masters if I deem it to be worth it.
But here's the thing: I applied for a tuition fee scholarship at RHUL, and have been told I'm in the reserve (basically, if others reject the scholarship for whatever reason, I'm next in line - not sure how many other 'reserve' people there are though, so I'm assuming that it's unlikely for me to get). I read the T&C and know that if I don't firm the university then I throw away that chance.
I like the course at Royal Holloway the most, and find the rest (Durham, UoB, QMUL) to be okay.
My main concern is throwing away the good unis, but I feel like staying in London is the best chance for me to find opportunities in the future.
I am also considering a year in industry and researching if I'd be able to squeeze myself into one at each uni.
Does anyone have any input? Thanks loads!
