I am an 18 year old in manchester. I recently came here on a dependant visa and was basically forced to take a gap year due to moving in the middle of a school year. SO long story short I already finished my GCSEs in my home country where the average age of giving GCSE's is 17/18. I was 17 when i completed mine and am 18 now. Due to my age, I was unable to apply to most colleges for A levels except for 2 : Cheadle college and pendleton college.

I got A* in 9 subjects in my GCSE's and am looking to get into oxbridge in the future hopefully so I dont want to compromise on doing A levels. I am now completely stumped on what college to choose between these 2 and am very desperately hoping that people can give me pointers on the pros and cons of both of them in all metrics overall. Im not saying just academically but also development of extra curriculars , clubs, teaching environment, staff, campus and facilities. (im also completely alone so hoping to make friends too). If anyone with any experience with either of these colleges can provide me with some insight i will be grateful and any help will be deeply appreciated
