I know, that reaction is an old one from when the non-red-bricks used to be polytechnics.

Just a side note though - entry grades are due to demand, not linked with standard of courses at all.
So if many people want to go to Manc Met or Leeds Met because of being close to home/the nightlife/whatever, the grades go up because the demand is high, not nevessarily because the course itself is sought after.
