Help me decide which uni to pick for a Bsc in computer science
Hey everyone, I need advice choosing between the University of Kent and Nottingham Trent for a Computer Science BSc. My main priority is budget, followed by living expenses and job opportunities both during and after my degree.
Nottingham Trent seems like the cheaper city for rent and daily life, and finding part-time student work there looks easy. However, I might get a tuition discount at Kent that would actually make it cheaper upfront than NTU.
The dilemma is whether Kent's potential savings and close proximity to London for tech networking and internships are worth it, or if the cheaper living costs and rent in Nottingham make NTU the safer bet. Rankings aren't a deal-breaker, so I'd love to hear your thoughts on the tech programs and local job scenes at both.
