So I'm looking at university rankings, there are plenty of them and none agree with each other. Are there ones that are relatively more respected in the UK/align more with popular perception? |

Ignore the headline rankings. Look at things like quality of teaching and student satisfaction. Ask for opinions on thestudentroom.co.uk. Bear in mind that the quality of courses can vary a great deal within the same university, so try to speak with people who are doing your intended course. If at all possible, go and visit the campuses - some of them are right shitholes. If you're considering QMUL, think about the costs and benefits of being in London. Loads of culture, incredible nightlife, but you'll end up in a lot more debt. |

I concur with the sentiment so far that league tables are not everything. In fact I find them utterly distasteful affairs that give a bias towards universities that badger their students at the end of the course to fill out the response forms. The truth is what university you go to doesn't matter as much as you applying yourself when you get there - even a little wider reading makes a huge difference in what your final grade will be. |

If I could choose a university again my preference would be based on 1. reputation, unfortunately it matters and 2. success rate of students getting internships or placements. The latter will be more valuable than your degree come graduation. |

I went to Reading and loved it. Close enough to the rural bits for bike rides and rowing while keeping fast train connection home to the smoke. Plus the careers centre and other student support services there are absolutely fantastic. |
