Anyone want to chat about our first year Uni students? Empty nests and shopping lists.

My ds is off to Surrey Uni in Sept. Having read the thread in Aibu about funding I thought I'd start one for any other advice and general chat

Nicest gift I got for going to uni was a really nice towel. And my mum would tumble dry it and make it all fluffy when I bought it back in the holidays.

Come over to Higher Education there are loads of threads, questions and general chat over there

Also - if you are on FB, you can look at WIWIKAU (What I wish I knew about University). They also have a website.
However, just a warning - there are some over invested parents over there amongst all the rational and helpful ones .....

Don't expect too much contact from them! Be prepared to do a few flat moves (tiring). Mine are all finished now and self sufficient. My bank account is happier for it!
