Logically 2nd is better than 3rd but how comfortable you will be must be conceded so things like accommodation, proximity to casual work availability and like minded people to associate with are important. Student forums at the unis will be more helpful than this sub.

Perhaps get some counciling from your parents or a mentor that you might have, rather than this sub, which is generally full of morons with opinions rather than facts about the issue.

Anyway if your appreciate Hinduism you know that fate has already decided what going to happen based on your past deeds, all you have to do is be true to your self and do the right thing, as we say in Australia.
