DD is moving away to Uni!! General support and financial help needed

[Debs75]

DD has got into Uni but rather than it be the one up the road she is moving 2 hours away to the other side of the country!
It happened at clearing so we now have 4 weeks to:
buy everything she needs (I have a few lists so we know what to take)
Sort out accommodation (can that be done so near to starting?)
Sort out pre=existing health worries
Work out her finances.

She is off at work today so I can't actually do her accommodation and I don't have her loan details to hand so any help from others who have been through this or are going through it now some help would be gratefully received.

She is my eldest so this is the start of my babies leaving the nest

Just searched national express and found some cheaper prices but then saw megabus and if she didn't mind a change she could come home for £3. I think she needs to get used to long bus journeys

DD still only looks about 14 so she comes home on a kids fare! She popped into work earlier to pick up her rota for next week and the relief manager asked she was pleased with her GCSE results
