Wherever you go, you’ll want to feel happy and settled. Would you prefer somewhere rural or urban, for example? Do you plan to live at home or away?
Although course and location are crucial when you’re choosing a place to study, it’s also worth thinking about:
- size of the institution: is it one campus, or are the buildings scattered?
- social facilities: what are the pubs, clubs, gig venues, cinemas, sports facilities like?
- accommodation: what are the halls of residence like, and how much does university and private accommodation cost?
- cost of living: how high are the costs of food and entertainment?
