Good websites for uni research

Try these websites for various ways to research where to study (alphabetically):
AllAboutCareers see the page on Choosing a University (and there's a free careers test too)
BestCourse4Me (and now they have a new mobile app too)
CareerScapeOnline (to register you need the Licence Code talkfind58)
Push "the ruthlessly independent guide to UK universities"
UCAS  the official UK universities website 
UK Coursefinder  website developed by Morrisby (complete with free study-interests questionnaire) on how to choose a course
Unistats official website for comparing UK higher education course data
Which? university  find the course and uni where you want to go, and how to get there.
There are many other websites too.  Online research is fine, but there is no substitute for actually going to the university to see what it's like and meeting students already studying there. Or seek qualified guidance, such as from Youth Connexions.
