Mmm, it’s difficult to say. If you are interested in a career in science you should try and go to a university that does research, that has lots of scientists. You may even know what sort of scientific area you might want to work in already, and find a university that does these sorts of things. Most departments have a website, have a good rummage on the internet! And try and visit these places on their open days, ask lots of questions and see whether you enjoy the atmosphere.

From a personal point of view (and this is very important to your happiness! no matter where you go, if you’re miserable you won’t do well), the two big choices with university are:
* Big City or small town / campus
Would you be happier at a smaller university where you know more of the people, or would you prefer to be in a bigger city where there’s a wider range of things to do + people to know?
* Collegiate system / more metropolitan setup
Would you like to be spending lots of time with a small group of people, or would you prefer to have the option of getting to know a lot of people, but the risk that you might not make as many friends?
