Are your family and friends excited or worried about you going to university?
Are you the first person they know who has decided to go?
Going to university is exciting, but you need to think about how it will fit higher education in with your family life and other relationships. If none of your family or friends have been to university, they may have a lot of questions about university life.
One of the best ways to have your questions answered is to visit the university on an Open Day or a Taster Day. Sometimes it helps you to make your decision if a friend or someone from your family goes with you to find out what university is like. You can look around the university, perhaps go on a guided tour, which might help you to give them a better idea of what is involved.
If you need childcare in order to study, you will want to find out what childcare is available before you make your course decisions. Some of the folders in this section give you further information about childcare and financial support for those who need to care for young children and study at the same time.
