I don't know my exact results yet but I checked on the website this morning and I haven't got into the university I wanted to. I have prepared myself for this because I know I messed up one of my subjects so right now I'm looking at all the places on clearing to see where I can go. The two options I've narrowed it down to are Hull and Liverpool universities.

Hull is pretty much the exact same course as what I would have been doing at Glasgow; English and Philosophy. Liverpool is a slightly different course, either Philosophy and Politics or straight Philosophy. However Liverpool is considered the better university.

At Liverpool I would know a lot of people whereas I wouldn't at Hull. I actually think this is a negative for me, I was looking forward to going to Glasgow and knowing very few people and having a big change. I am sociable so it wouldn't be a problem.

You don't really have to know much about the universities and I'm not asking you to make the decision for me but from what I've told you what would you do in my position?

I still want to go to a good university and both of these are considered to be pretty high standard.

There is no 'best' university- they all have their strengths in different areas, so if one offers the same course you wanted to do, you shouldn't sacrifice that for a so called "better" reputation- thats not what matters

So you would say to choose Hull on that basis?

Liverpool is the better university, but I don't think it's better than Hull by a MASSIVE amount. If you'd prefer the course at Hull (and wouldn't mind living there...) then go to Hull.

There's always the option of reapplying to Glasgow whilst at uni. Have you spoken to Glasgow? It might be worth asking them if you'd have a chance reapplying, or if they could offer you another course.

Go where is best for you, not where you know the most people. Also, make sure the school had your major/area of study. Also cost
of attendance.

Every course at every university in England costs the same.
