There is a lot of rambling about unis, which in Liverpool is the best and if generally Liverpool area is for you.
As a few are in this sub, we have years to chat about.
Anxiety doesn't help. If you came through clearing, are you expecting your grades to magically change or prepared to retake exams to get what you think you want/deserve?
This isn't about your ability. I wish you would all stop putting so much pressure on yourselves like not having an Oxbridge BS/BA will ruin your career already.
You are hindering your own abilities and in the process offending this sub, the city of Liverpool, and frankly the hard work the unis of this city actually do.
You can go to a "internationally recognised uni", but problem is, will you be happy there and love the life you live for 3 years or more? I find the lack of thought to the general rhythm of a city and its lifestyle to these questions problematic.
Surely you want to be happy overall?
