Hello
I have started a new thread following on from this one
https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/further_education/5340007-year-12-202425-support-discussion-and-looking-after-each-other-thread-2?utm_campaign=thread&utm_medium=app_share

DS has a room! Thank you @MysticCatLady much relief all round 😊

Brilliant! What did DS go for? My DD booked John Tovell today.

@AuntyBulgaria It is a scary thought. Only 2 weeks left. Our DS is focusing on Econ and his 3rd subject. Maths will be two weeks later, so that is on the backburner 🤦‍♀️😭
We are still waiting for his last offer (which is probably a rejection now), but he knows what he will firm.

Good luck to all the arty and musical girls and boys.

DS booked a place in Goldsmid - he’s very happy as it’s in Westminster which is his favourite location, and has a small double bed which might be long enough 😂

John Tovell looks fantastic. Your dd will have a great time. DS is doing history and really looking forward to UCL!

thanks again, you are a star!

Accommodation provisionally booked and first year finance done. It's really sad for a 17yo to have signed himself up to nearly £16K of debt

DH is visiting Manchester with DC so we'll see if they still want to stay in London or go for there instead after today. The two of them managed to organise a faculty tour and to meet some of the academics. DC has some concern about distance, which is kind of surprising given they are so independent, and size of the uni (they like the small cohort at Goldsmiths), but maybe a visit will help - or confirm they're not so comfortable with it. But it felt like they hadn't given it a chance by not properly visiting - they happened to go to an event there a few months ago, but it's not the same as avidly getting a faculty tour etc.
