University is about getting out there and meeting new people and shit. Nothing against your friends but having a pact to all go back to your hometown seems like a wasted opportunity to me.
It's also that study rates are way higher up North than South. I'd rather be where i'm at home.
I know a guy who went to Sheffield Hallam and graduated 2 years ago.
What are you going to study?
Studying Law & Criminology.
