Going to the University at Solent is a dream come true.
Tips: I would say before coming to the UK you should know that you will get the biggest cultural shock here. The study process is very different from India. You will have assignments for your final exam instead of written exams. Scholarship here at Solent University I am not sure about this financial year you can check on the university's official website.
Likes (Internships): Getting Internships here in your relevant field is I would say a bit of a challenge. You have to have some kind of connections in the respective organisation otherwise you will miss the chance straight away. One more thing just research the UK's market as much as you can. This will give you the advantage of what and where you should target the market for your dream job.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The chances of getting PR here in the UK is next to impossible because you have to get a sponsorship job for 5 years and then you can think of getting ILR. If someone is looking for a foreign experience only and not thinking about settling down here can consider the UK.

Tier 4 Average University for MBA
Tips: Average college which charges extra for placement. Not a good learning institution with nothing new to learn. Teachers are also not that much-educated, the teaching method is lesser than what I expected. I did not got to learn any extra skills which I already don't have and now it is too difficult to get a job even after having this MBA degree.
Likes (Public transportation): Affordable public transport, the bus is cheap like 2-3 gbp for one journey depending on the bus but if you are travelling by railway it's way too expensive. So you will have to stay in the city and there are many bus stops which connect to the university depending where you are living.
Dislikes (Part time work): Very few part time jobs on campus and town too. Expensive cost of living even if you get a part-time job it will be cleaning jobs, waiter, or food assistant mopping job which is not worth it because the rent is too high. Food is expensive and in the end, you will not save anything.

Very limited immigration opportunities; college environment and transportation facilities are great.
Tips: You should be self-sufficient to understand and re-run the course at home as well. Be ready to attend the classes as they take regular attendance for the students. There is a good teaching faculty who help you whenever you need them to.
Likes (Public transportation): The mode of transport is good and there are lots of connections to reach the campus. Buses ply every half an hour and trains are available too. The bus stop is a walkable distance from the college. You can easily travel by any means to the college and your house.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): There are no adequate campus placements that sponsor you in order to get permanent immigration. The chances are pretty low given your student tenure doesn't add up to the years required for permanent immigration. Yes, I would still permanently immigrate to this country as there are other benefits that help you to manage both work and personal life.

Grass is greener from far, always focus on your area and have plan B
Tips: Scholarship is one thing students should find out before coming here. Job market research before choosing a course is significant for any student. More practical studies than theory. One need to uplift their technical skills. There is less exposure here and the job market is difficult here. Student discounts are one thing you should find out. Students should get rail cards to get cheap fares.
