Advice on late entry uni chocie/courses in computing for this year

[unichoicehelp]

DS took A levels with AAB last summer and has been working since then. Has now decided he wants to go to uni this year to do computing or something related!

He doesnt know anything about the process as he didnt look at it or apply when at school. Where should he look for courses and unis with spaces?

Any suggestions of locations where uni accommodation is most easily available and cheapest? Ideally 2/3 hours north of London to focus the search.

Looking at unis with lower entry requirements as those grades were obtained with support so that he doesnt struggle.

Thank you

Any of the Midlands universities (including the red bricks) should have cheaper accommodation options; Leicester, Birmingham, etc. Easy to get back to Essex too via London.

Or another option, a London uni, live out for first year only then commute in from home. A lot of Greater London students do this. There is a higher maintenance loan for students studying in London and some universities offer bursaries to help with accommodation/living costs too. I've seen twin rooms in halls for around £4.5K.
