Which university to go to? Look at university websites and prospectuses. Go to Open Days, campus tours, tasters sessions NEVER CHOOSE A UNIVERSITY YOU HAVE’NT VISITED!!!

What else should I think about? Does it have a good transport links? How far away from home is it? Is it in a city location or town or country? What is the accommodation like? What are the study facilities? How good are the social and sporting facilities? What student help is available?
