Need help choosing

I got offers for computer science at st Andrews and electronic and software engineering at glasgow.

I'm a very quiet guy and don't exactly enjoy drinking but do love meeting friends. I'm from a very rural part of Scotland and would play football at uni.

I'm looking how to meet like-minded people in similar situations. I also feel kinda worried about moving away to uni.

If anyone has knowledge or experience attending either of these universities, or is enrolled in those or similar courses, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hey, I also have offers for St. Andrews and Glasgow, but for psychology and history. Have u made any decisions yet? I'm also struggling to decide between them. :smile:

I went to an offer holder day at st Andrews and chose them as I liked the town and how they'd allow me to study a mix of subjects. Glasgow would've been a great opportunity as well and I didnt go to an offer holder day there but I also have friends who chose Dundee so I was planning on getting a flat with them after year 1. Ultimately it's up to you but I felt like id be able to find friends easier at st Andrews.
