DS has place at a London uni. Was keen to live in halls but they are so expensive. Would have to take out full maintenance loan to cover it and we would have to give him more on top for living expenses. Being in London not the full campus experience anyway, halls scattered, closest one to uni 30 minute tube commute - commute from home is 45mins. DH has told him makes more sense to live at home and save the money, maybe move out and share a house with friends next year. DS dissapointed but seems ok about it, I can see the sense but I feel guilt ridden and worry he will find it harder to socialise. Have no problem with him coming back all hours etc, does that already , but I feel sad he's not getting full independence. I would love to hear from others in same situation, can't imagine we are the only ones. Any tips for making changes to home dynamics?
