Stirling has a rather beautiful campus, with a castle and a lochan on-site. It has great, international, sport facilities.
Stirling is very close to Glasgow and Edinburgh, but cheaper.

Nottingham is a high-crime area; there are also about 8 girls to every boy at the uni, if you are interested in that type of stat.

I also agree with Greg S about Queens Oxford. Queens Cambridge is also v good from my latest reports. I don't like Bristol, it's spread over too many converted 5-bedroom detached dwellings and it hasn't looked after itself. I used to have a soft spot for Bath, but I am not up to date with it now.

Have a great time wherever you choose, but get the work done too. Get it done in a timely fashion and you'll avoid all that stress. Then you can lord it over your mates who are behind with their stuff.
