We've chatted on a different threads over the past few months so do any anxious/excited/slightly overwhelmed parents want to congregate here for Durham chat?
My DS will be starting an MEng next month and has been allocated to Cuths 🐯(but no confirmation of what type of accommodation he has yet).
He's slowly working his way through registration etc and fretting about the important things like what to wear for matriculation <sigh>
How's everyone else getting on?

@MillicentFaucet - lesson learnt, I'm sure. My experience of life (and I'm well into my 50s...) has been that the most painful lessons are the most effective! Nice to hear about the weather in Durham. My DD isn't going back until 1 October so hopefully it will still be mellow then!
