Very long story but DS has wanted Loughborough Sports Science forever. Got rejected back in May. Was going to attempt to try again next year but got AAB yesterday so no chance now. He has a place at Birmingham but it’s never been what he wanted however has really tried being positive about it. We went out yesterday and bought some bits to take with him and he booked his accommodation this morning.
Then has suddenly broke down in tears and says he doesn’t think he actually wants to go now. He got a B in PE and is now doubting his ability to even do the subject let alone keep up at Birmingham. He is a real homebody who isn’t interested in drinking/partying. Our local Uni (UEA) has spaces in clearing for a similar course, PE, Sport and Health so he called and been offered a place.
He has until tomorrow at 4pm to decide what to do. It’s going to be a complete logistical nightmare to sort out everything with Birmingham and it also seems crazy turning down a RG uni for a very different course but I feel like I need to listen to what he is saying.
He’d simply commute in from where we live so could keep his job, his girlfriend (of 4 years) and continue with the football training that he does.
Any negatives?
