I applied to the following universities: University of Liverpool: accepted and took the offer (also got some scholarship) University of Leeds: accepted but i declined the offer because of high tuition fees University of Manchester: accepted but i declined because of fees University of Birmingham: accepted but i declined because the city is considered to have a crime rate University of Warwick: rejected University of Loughborough: rejected University of Exeter: accepted but i declined because of the location and ranking.

I applied to Queen Mary, Birmingham University, and the University of Liverpool. I received offer letters from both Queen Mary and Birmingham but did not opt for them because the fees was high and also the scholarship was not offered. Also the living expenses in London and Birmingham were much higher, which made me choose the University of Liverpool. I find London to be a little different and a city, which is much colder.
