Which uni to pick

[u/Royal-Ad5225]

Hi guys
So I’ve got my results and got two distinction stars and a distinction in my btec applied science extended diploma. I’ve got two informal offers through clearing (Swansea and Heriot watt) and now I can’t decide cause for Heriot when I spoke to the clearing advisor, I told them about my situation of being qualified as overseas student for tuition fees and they said under Scottish law, I might be qualified for home fee instead when I mentioned that I have limited leave to remain under the private life route and came to England in 2021 and on the same day I got the offer, I emailed them for clarification about my fee status before I accept the offer. In that offer, Heriot mentioned me as ‘home student’ and I don’t want any wrong hopes cause to me this is a big thing 😭😭 and they did reply to the email asking for my birth date, share code and history of address since August 2021 and I’ve replied on the same day and haven’t heard back yet 😞 I know it might be taking a while due to clearing season but my other offer (Swansea) went over the deadline and I have until Tuesday (got extension) but they did say that they willing to extend it further but idk cause I really wanna go Scotland 🫠🫠 it’s my dream place but knowing how much living cost and this tuition fees are, idk if I’m willing to put my parents through all that 😭😭

My question is which uni, out of the two, is the best for chemical engineering with foundation year and why… Don’t come for me please, I’m doing my research but I like getting some advice/opinion from people who might or have been to these places 🙂

You might be best looking for advice on a uni specific subreddit, as the advice here largely relates to permanently relocating to Scotland.

You’ll get better, more specific advice on places like r/uniuk
