HELP ME WITH UNI CHOICES!!!!!!!!

[HereBecauseINeedYourHelp]

I have applied obviously for mechanical engineering and i have these offers, i am in the uk so i get one firm choice and one insurance choice. My predicted grades are A*A*A

Edinburgh A*AA
Sheffield A*AA
Manchester foundational ABB
newcastle ABB

i haven’t heard back from ucl yet but if i get it it will be my firm. Manchester called me saying that they can offer me the regular course at A*A*A but i would have to swap another uni option, i could swap manchester foundational for regular or swap sheffield for manchester regular.

They are all good. Oddly UCL would be the bottom of my list because London, but maybe you are a Londoner or have some masochistic desire to live in the Great Wen. For me personally Edinburgh would be my pick.

Newcastle is a great town to be a student....

But seriously. Look really hard at the course syllabus and decide if that's the this you're interested in.

Everything else is secondary.

How courses and sections are organised now is so different to when I went I just can't advise.

I went to Cambridge. My co worker went to Manchester. By the end f the second year we were using the same textbooks and studying the same subjects. Personally I'd look at the labs, Cambridge has replaced my beautiful steam and gas engines with bloody Lego.

The LEGO would not be bloody if students picked them up or wore shoes.

I'm out of practice here, but are all these MEng courses? i.e. a 4 year course?

What's the difference in the Manchester ones?

whatever you decide, you should have a great time learning your subject and its which bits of that you get really excited about will determine your way forward.

All are good solid known universities so they all "rank" pretty much the same when it comes to job applications at the end of it so investigate and once you decide, get the required grades and away you go.

they are beng so 3 years for all but the manchester foundational is 4 years for beng but with abb requirements whilst manchester regular is 3 years with a*a*a requirements. my predicted grades are a*a*a but the firm is meant to be if you meet your offer and the insurance is a weaker offer with less requirements just incase you don’t get your firm so newcastle and manchester foundational are my insurance options whilst everything else is firm options.
