Are your family and friends worried about you going to university?
Are you the first person they know who has decided to go?
Our families and friends can be extremely influential in the decisions we make in life. It is easy to understand that the idea of going to university can be frightening if no one from your family or circle of friends has been. They may have just as many concerns and questions about it as you. For this reason, they are always welcome to come along on university open days and taster events.
Leaving home to go to university and living independently for the first time can also be very exciting. You might find that all of a sudden you have complete control over what you do and when you do it. Although this can mean that there is no one to rely on but yourself in day-to-day life, it can feel very empowering and an important step in becoming an adult.
If you are a parent or carer with young children and hoping to take up Higher Education, you will want to find out what childcare is available before you make your course decisions. Information about childcare and financial support for those who need to care for young children and study at the same time can be found on the link I've got children to care for: What support is available?
