Uni or gap year

Hey guys I got into the Uni go Southampton for a course I want to do through clearing, but i’m having doubts! I want to do my course but before Thursday I had never even heard of Southampton and when I went to visit it was nice but not like amazing. I could resit my levels and try for a closer uni that I know i like for example Birmingham but i just don’t know. I feel like I should suck it up and go to Southampton, but I’m just so scared I am going to hate it for the next 3 years!

Check if birmingham allows transfers in year 2 for the course you want to do and if you would meet the requirements for a transfer

If you do meet the requirements you can try to apply for birmingham once you’ve started at Southampton and if you end up liking Southampton more just dont go through with the application/accept the offer to transfer.
