Arty DD 18 currently on an art foundation at a local college which she is enjoying. Very dyslexic, rough ride through the education system but has secured a place at a good uni on an art degree course in Sep. Huge social disaster in her final year at 6th form resulting in bullying, being excluded from all her friendship groups, ending in anxiety, depression and not great A level results. Dilemma as to whether to go to uni or stay at home and continue at the local college to do HNC, HND and if she wants, a year's top up degree. However, classes much smaller (likely less than 10), small college, so fewer opportunities to make new friends and it would mean living at home and missing out on independent living and the uni experience. However it would also leave her with much less debt. DD not convinced about going to uni due to debt for a degree that's unlikely to lead to a well paid career, new wariness around friendship groups and being judged to come up short academically - again - despite best endeavours in a subject she has always felt good at. I feel she might regret not going when she feels more confident, and uni could be the making of her if all goes well. Or break her if not. DD can't decide what to do. I just want her to be happy. Thoughts welcome.
