Hi! Not a student but if I were in your position, I would do the following things:

Look at the location to see how far it is from where you live
Look at university rankings to see which course overall is better
Go onto their websites and compare the course structure/modules to see which one suits your interests more
Look at the annual fees of each university
Compare their accommodation

Hello @Olivernew123!

As @Marni_808 pointed out, looking at the content offered by each course could be a good start. By doing so, you could get an idea of what you are going to study, how the teaching is set to be delivered, your potential contact hours and so on. The universities you have listed are great choices!

When I was going through the application process I also looked into things like the cost of living, public transport options and whether the city was well connected to the rest of the country via direct railway services, etc. The accommodation options available are also another important part for helping you make your final decision. Irrespective of whether you would prefer it to be catered or self-catered, I would see if the halls are close to your faculty so that you can minimise commuting times as much as possible.

I hope it helps,

Thank you very much for this detailed response Abían

I very much appreciate this as i am yet to look at things such as transport links such as public transport and how close the accomodation is to the university campus i will do what i can to truly research into this. I also appreciate you describing what you looked at to make a decision.


Yours sincerely Oliver New
