I have NO idea which one to go forrrrr :nervous: Does anyone know when we have to make THE DECISION?
On my UCAS application I put down 5 which I realise now is a bit stupid cuz I could have stuck an extra one on there.
I've got:
Hull
Kingston
Plymouth
Uni of Kent (at Canterbury)
Roehampton
I had an urge a while back to go to Hull. To be nearer my cousin, aunt, gran etc and an entirely new experience blah blah. But now I am chickening out due to missing home, friends, bf and not having my ma there to rely on.
Okay I live in Gillingham, Kent. Now with the ones in London and Canterbury I know that I can commute but won't it take forever? I haven't passed my driving test yet..(Just had 6 lessons) Is it enough time? Arghhh. I guess I could live there but it would be veryvery scary.
I am really scared of going to a uni and having no friends. I've been a bit of a loner in the past like when I chose to do Beauty Therapy. That was horrible and made me feel like shit and I reeeeally don't want to feel like that again.
Everyone I know is either getting offers and I dont even have a first choice yet. It's doin ma head in.

Have you sent your form off to UCAS yet?
If you haven't then the absolute deadline for doing that is sometime in January but you are better off doing it as soon as possible. Once you've done that, you sit back and wait, get on with whatever you're doing at the moment and over the weeks and months responses from the places you have applied to will come in.
Once you've had all your answers you then have to make a decision, as to your firm choice and your insurance, but that's not til March time.

Wait til you get your offers/interviews etc, life may get a lot easier.
Personally I'd stay away from Kingston, but then I live near it.
and how much do/dont you want to move out and live at uni?
On another hand I do because I figure it might be harder to make friends if I'm having to commute. Confusing
Anyway one of the big decisions you need to make is whether you want to live at home or not, and then go from there. Good luck!
Hey I live in Rainham too!
also you say you're worried about making friends etc - i don't think commuting would be the best option.
