Every course and every university is different, and each student wants different things, so the chances of finding a perfect match is not that high, despite the 150 or so universities and university-level higher education colleges, and the huge range of courses that are available. You will almost certainly end up having to decide what is most important to you.
Do you want the best course or one that is quite good but offers the options you really want? Do you want the ideal work placement or the course with least continuous assessment?
In the end only you can decide. It won't be easy, but after all the reading, visiting and talking, you have got to do it. You have to decide which universities or colleges will go on your UCAS application. Good luck!

For some, the choice of subject and type of course will narrow down the number of possible universities to just a few. If you want to study veterinary science, there are only seven places you can go. If you want to study Burmese, there is only one. For many, though, particularly if you are interested in one of the major subjects such as English, chemistry, law or mechanical engineering, there may be 30 or more similar courses. Research into the reasons why students leave universities early in the course often finds that choosing the wrong course was an important factor, so it is crucial to do good research and decide carefully.
