Edinburgh is very underrated by most people imo. It's a top uni especially internationally, has a decent nightlife (Glasgow is also a 30-40 min train away) and there's so much to do in the city. It even has a decent beach which is a 15 min cycle on a boris bike from the centre.

That's a shame because I was really interested in Manchester due to the Politics and Sociology course and wanted quite a quiet place to study and a small academic community. I guess I'll have to look elsewhere now like St. Andrews or Cambridge, which are universities I am not so confident about but have tight-nit communities and cosy academic space.

[@alexthompson2087]

I have to disagree, Manchester is smaller than UCL. I’ve found there to be a fantastic community within UoM, everyone’s friendly, and I see a lot of familiar faces. I guess it varies for different people?? I don’t know.

@@sophieday-riley230 Interesting. Still, I’ve had a very positive experience, as did most of my classmates/people I’ve spoken to. Obviously, kind of excluding coronavirus because that just drastically impacted everyone’s experience. At university level, it may not always feel like academics “care” so much because of the volume of students, and nature of teaching. University involves being an independent learner. But there should always be people at hand for advice and support. For me lecturers are talented, passionate and make things easy to interpret, although I ask further questions when needed, it’s more so my tutors/support staff that help on a personal level, and that’s the norm.

The emphasis British students put on university prestige and ranking is embarrassing.

I went to Birmingham and it was good. Student life is easy there. Campus is nice, average rent is fairly cheap, transport is good, lots of nice places to go nearby the student areas, lots of places to eat well, and plenty of housing that's really close to campus (which saves you a LOT of time and money because it's so walkable). I'm going to York for my PhD and my first impressions were that transport was good and the city seems nice. I think the campus is uglier than Birmingham's, but I'll spend most of my time inside the buildings not staring at them, and the insides seemed cushy 😸 hopefully it'll be a nice time! Edit: after a few months living in York, I can't honestly say I'd recommend it. Pros: safe, reasonably walkable, nice restaurants and cafes, peace and quiet, campus has sweet, beautiful wildlife. Cons: EXPENSIVE AS HELL! I'm paying £30 more per week in rent than I was in Birmingham, more than that actually because bills aren't included. What I'm paying seems to be pretty standard. Rent alone costs nearly half my stipend. I can't imagine how the undergraduates are managing. Lack of superstores: want a decent and affordable range of food? Too bad, the nearest big Sainsbury's is a mile away, depending where you live the Aldi is half an hour away which is not something you want with heavy groceries. The closest supermarket is a Waitrose, because of course it is. Not the greatest range of food on campus. The drivers are genuinely terrible here, I was honestly shocked, especially since I thought Birmingham would be worse. I was wrong. I don't understand because the roads themselves are okay here. People are just extremely impatient and sloppy. City centre on weekends, no, the amount of people makes me feel a bit ill. And last but not least, some old woman decided to call me a bitch because...she didn't like my facial expression???? Never met such rude, horrible people in my life.

I love the new perspective used here. If we search for UK best uni recommendation in any sites, the list will be the same! That's because the scoring only by academic record (maybe), but here, OMG we can see that study it's not only about study, right? haha. Ur opinion should be consider more :)

I’m going to uni next year and I’m so scared cause literally everything revolves around drinking and I can’t drink cause of a health condition so I’m fucked. Being around drunk people when your sober is the worst thing in the world yet that’s like the only way you make friends in freshers? Not looking forward to it to say the least

[@beomgguks970]

Some thoughts in reply to your comment; I've been planning what I'm doing in Freshers week as someone who doesn't drink and there are some events where it's alcohol free or there are mocktails etc. This is for Lancaster Uni however. So I think unis / student unions who plan freshers events are more aware nowadays that not everyone drinks so they'll probably be offering some events. However peer pressure is another thing but it's really no one's business what you can't put in your body for your own health so disregard and keep a safe distance from those who give you shit for it. Besides, who can tell the difference between a lemonade and vodka lemonade? Finally, I think it might differ between unis. A big uni in a big city (think Birmingham, London unis, Manchester) is going to have a lot more clubs etc than a smaller uni in a rural or smaller city, (eg: Lancaster, Aberystwyth). So drinking culture differs between unis.

@@lottiee964 no problem! besides, when going through the UCAS process and choosing your unis sometimes they display contact information for student union reps who will know better than anyone else about non-alcohol events, and you can always look around on the studentroom and contact universities themselves. :)
