Leicester university - bad reputation?

Its not the nicest area in the country, but its not the worst! There are quite a few unis in bad places, you won't necessarily get a place in a better area through clearing, esp at this late stage where a lot of unis are full. To be honest, you really shouldn't let your place go - its a good uni and you won't find anything as good through clearing. If I were you I would go there and see what its like for yourself, you may be surprised! And if you really don't like it you can change unis next year. Best of luck :)
