Coventry University
Transcript
Hi, guys, Selma from Coventry University, London. Well, this is a deep question, what's the best place in the UK to study? I live in London because our campus is here and I absolutely love it. To me, this is the heartbeat of the UK. 300000 people agree with me because that's how many students we have here in London studying at university. However, if London's not your bag, don't worry, there's lots of other options. You could go to Coventry, which is a smaller kind of university type of town. So it's really up to you.

So which city is best to be a student? Well, it obviously depends on what you want, but I have to say that London and Coventry are two of the best. We have a campus in London and we have a campus in Coventry. Coventry is a student city. There's 10 percent of the population of Coventry is actually made up of students. So everywhere you go, there's something to do for students. So I think that if you're looking for an affordable city that's got a great to see them by Coventry is the place.

Aberystwyth University
Transcript
Hi, my name is Meritza and I am from Aberystwyth University. So, this is a great question and I'll try not to be biased in my answers, but I would advise you to come to Aberystwyth University. Part of the reason is that we're first in the UK for student experience and teacher quality. We're right by the coast. We've got great support available to our students. If you're looking to go anywhere else in the UK, I suggest that you look at those things, you look at places where you will be supported academically and where you find community.

Coventry University
Transcript
Which city in the UK is best for international students? Well, this is very subjective because best means different things for everyone. For me, it would be about convenience of getting from my accommodation to the lecture theatres and the availability of pubs and restaurants. And Coventry is perfect for that.

Cardiff University
Transcript
Hi, I'm Reece from Cardiff University. Our students love Cardiff because it combines the very best of living in a major city with a safe, affordable and student friendly environment. But of course, in truth, there's no single or correct answer to this question. You students are individuals with individual needs and individual ones. So be sure to do research to choose the right study destination for yourself. Consider, of course, the academic programs available, the ranking and reputation of the university. Consider the cost of living the size of the city, ease of travel and amenities and facilities available to you. Do your research and seek advice.

University of Derby
Transcript
This is bullying from the University of Derby in terms of kids, it really depends on what kind of person you are. So for me, I prefer a very quiet city like Derby when I was studying and when I need to rest or a holiday, I can travel to like Birmingham or Manchester, which is only half an hour away for some nice Chinese restaurants, some fancy shopping or even some really nice carvings.
