great campus life, compare course details with other universities before you go - some courses are very well regarded and others are not very well known which indicates the level of academic teaching

Final comments
if going to a university in the UK, compare courses at different universities - most big uni's with campusses will give you a great experinec but not necessarily the academic skills you would have liked to acquire.
