It is no good attending the ‘best’ university in the world if you just don’t like the atmosphere. If you cannot decide between two apparently similar universities, go with your ‘gut feeling’. Where did you feel most comfortable? What kinds of students attend the university? Were the teaching staff intimidating, or friendly and approachable? Attend as many Open Days and interviews as you can – it is the best way to get a feel for the university and department at which you will hopefully be spending the next three years of your life
