Hi Mr Azarimy, 2019 September intake is coming and I hope you can share some of your opinions on my choices as I'm preparing myself to study a degree in architecture. My first choice was University of Manchester but sadly, I did not achieve the grades in my conditional offer My next choices I had for my UCAS application were University of Kent which followed by Oxford Brookes. I also have an offer from AA School of Architecture which is the institution I have in mind to attend right now and I also applied to University of Melbourne as my back up plan. I've been blessed by the opportunity to be able to pursue my studies overseas but I do have some thoughts that there are local unis that are equally as good as my choices that I have so I'm hesitant if I should study abroad. I applied to AA since it's known to be prestigious but I'm worried even though its 5-year course is recognised with RIBA Part 1 and 2, I feel like I may face discrimination as I will only graduate with a diploma since it is a private uni. I have some seniors who graduated from AA and they told me that they were able to land a job with ease also received their LAM 1 and 2 accreditation but I can't help to overthink as this is a huge step for me to take My mom is trying to persuade me to go to Uni Melbourne since it's closer to home but I feel like I rather study in the UK if I were to study abroad May I know your thoughts, sir?

Hope it won't be a hassle for you to advise me and help me understand my choices better. Thank you
