How about York Uni? Campus outside of town, not far from countryside.

Also, both Leeds and Bradford are close to the Yorkshire Dales.

Sheffield is close to the Peak District.

I lived in Bournemouth for a year, doing a course at the Uni, and loved every minute of it. It really has the best of both worlds. Gorgeous countryside nearby, New Forest nearby, and the loveliest beaches in the country. Big gay scene as well and lots of arty stuff going on due to the art college and uni. Pretty cosmopolitan for Dorset. I'd definitely live there again.....

It does sound good. I'd always written it off as just being for OAPs...

I did!

I used to go to her club in the city centre , can't remember what it was called, may have been called Martha's Vineyard?

Marthas was the very same one..... and across the road there was central park and ritzys

I went to Aberystwyth, then Bangor.

Either of those fit the bill. Id move back to Aber in a heartbeat if I could get a job there. It's one of those places that you either fall hopelessly in love with or hate.

Aber Hiraeth

You could try Stirling if you wanna go to Scotland.

Exeter's pleasant but I find lacks any real soul in terms of good nightlife or any of the more bohemian sides of being a university city...

Plymouth ( it's a city though).

Birmingham has lots of coutryside round it. No sea but Edgbaston resevoir is nice

St Andrews?

Very good suggestion. Cute little uni town, decent pubs, decent beach, excellent access to the countryside.

Oh, and if you want a fairly easy uni to enter, with a good chance of befriending posh people who can help out with your career later, it's a clever strategic move as well. I laughed at one of my mates for going there, right up to the point he took full advantage of new found chums at connections to waltz into a very nice job. Smart bastard.

I went to Bournemouth...was OK...

If I do a Masters though...it'll be Falmouth

Can I big up the University of Glasgow and UWS shared campus in Dumfries. Beautiful rural campus set in the stunning, and frequently overlooked countryside of Dumfries and Galloway and only a few miles from becahes at Brow Well and Carsethorn/Sotherness/Rockcliffe.
