text: university in england? what are the best universities for someone who is predicted bbb at alevel, i want to go to a good uni but know i wont be able to apply to the prestigous ones ie oxford durham etc as i wont get straight a's very solid advice from the poster above; a lot varies by what you want to study.  the ucas route is definitely the first step to identifying where you could go with those grades.  next, is more important, though.  go and see the places; go to as many open days and events as you can, and go and visit towns that you're interested in on non-event days too.  it's far more important to go to a university where you're going to be comfortable and happy than to go to one which is slightly "better" officially, so make sure you take time and find somewhere you like and will be happy (and hence work well) at.
