Was wanting to go to Uni in september, but it looks like that idea has gone out the window.
I am 17 at the moment, and live at home with my mum and setpdad. I dont get on with them too well, been told many times that I am being kicked out when I turn 18, which is April the 24th.
So now I need to look for somewhere to live, its possible to live with my dad but he is 100 miles away so I would have to loose all my friends. He said he would support me until I finish college if my mum does kick me out.
So now I am looking for a place to rent, get everything sorted. Because of the way the contracts work i wont be able to leave for uni, and to be able to support myself in rented accomodation I would need a decent full time job which I cant get at the moment because of college on a wednesday, so would have to hunt for a suitable job.
So basically everything has gone tits up...........dunno why I posted, just wanted to get it off my chest and see if anyone has anything to say.

Student loans, bursaries etc will help you even more if you are staying on your own.
Think about it. I'm there at the moment, benefits in the future.

I dont get what ya mean -Aliba- will it be good for me to leave and set up on my own, get a full time job and then go to uni later or should I go now??
I am really stuck as to what to do. I am going to look at Sheff Hallam Uni tomorrow and I will talk to them about my chances of coming in when I am 21!!

What i mean is that by staying away from your parents house, you qualify for a greater bursary and loan. Well, at least thats how it is in Scotland.
Problem with getting a job just now and going to uni later is whether you'll be able to pull yourself away from that job/income to go to uni.
Have a good think about what to do.

Yeah I will do dont worry, its just gonna be hard to figure out what to do, I need to finish college to get to uni but I cant finish college and hold up a full time job to support myself.
If i had just one year out it would be much better, defer my joining for 1 year.

Yeah, well I went to have a look around Sheff Hallam, really really interested in going now. Should be sweet. One downside was that I spent 3 hours there and saw no really good looking girls..........hopefully it will be better when I go.
Ah well, just gonna have to think about it all.
Does anyone know if it is possible to defer your start date for a year after you have been accepted because I could do with a year to get myself on my feet and then move onto uni.

You spent an hour there and saw no good looking girls? Were your eyes shut the whole time? Most unis will allow you to defer a year, and this usually puts you in a better position for entry as well, you're able to apply earlier for 2004 start plus you've the ability to get more under your belt experience-wise.

Yeah, I will have to e-mail them about it or something.
Yeah I swear, scouts honour, I saw about a hand full of decent girls, all the rest weren't my kinda standard.
Granted I was in the computing section.
