Progressing into third year

As i am only doing a foundation degree course i need to decide whether to move onto a top up year.
My main option was to continue onto the top up course here at Newcastle college.
 To do this i would need to apply before the 14th of this month.

There are other options. I could top up to a full Ba at another university in the area like Northumbria or Sunderland or move further afield to somewhere like Leeds.

There are problems with this however. Moving to another University would mean that i would have to get to know the staff and students which could take a lot of time, time which would ideally be spent progressing on the course.

After speaking to other students on my course it has also became apparent that Universities may ask me to resit the second year before i would be able to proceed to the third year.
 As i am already in the second year at the same level i have decided that this is a deal breaker. I cannot afford to pay for the same year twice.

I will talk to tutors here who teach in the third year and see if this is the best option for me.
