How to choose a university

I don't know if I've said this before but how I ended up at my uni was:

I was sitting in the 6th form study room filling in my application form and had put down four choices and needed a fifth. Someone had left a prospectus on the desk for King's College London, I glanced through it and thought 'that'll do, I won't be going there anyway'. On the way to an interview at Sussex uni the coach drove past King's and the moment I saw it I just knew that that's where I would go. And it was.
