Offers are in, so how to decide?

As my DS embarks on a round of offer holder days, I think the decision making us getting more difficult not easier! So I wondered how your DC's are going about the job of choosing!

It seems to me there are various factors playing on DS's mind (in no particular order)

Achievability of offer (obvs) but more subtly, will striving to meet the offer create so much stress the results will suffer?

Course content/reputation

University reputation/prestige

Accommodation choice/standard

How far away from home

Are friends going there too

Anything else we should be confusing ourselves with taking into account?

THe uni do deserve to be named and shamed for misleading
BUT
I do feel sorry for them at the moment - there is the chance that kids sitting exams now will be excluded from Erasmus because of the June vote
and lots of other exchange links are up in the air through no fault of any university
