university of Lincoln - city or campus university?

Hello, I'm doing some research for my backup unis and have narrowed it down to either Winchester or Lincoln to study computer science in 2026. Both looked really good and offered me great options, however I am very confused by the Lincoln main campus situation. As I've found no virtual tour it's hard to pick up on where everything is. I still may give it a visit but I'm running out of time for visits so need to prioritise. Off campus accommodation isn't ideal for me, but equally it looks like a very small campus so may actually be better, I just wanted the scope on how far each accommodation is as the website says 'on campus' for them all.
Also, would you recommend computer science at either of these unis? They're not my top choices but are back ups with their lower entry requirements

City university --> its campus is based inside the city of Lincoln.
In terms of accommodation, they offer both, on campus accommodation and city based accommodation.
The Brayford Pool campus is campus-based accommodation.
There is also city based accommodation like The Gateway.

For computer science, based on the Complete University Guide (CUG) 2026, it is ranked place 44, so not that bad or that good. But considering computer science is highly competitive industry, I think Lincoln's an okay back-up choice.
