Yeah, I will have to e-mail them about it or something.

Yeah I swear, scouts honour, I saw about a hand full of decent girls, all the rest weren't my kinda standard.

Granted I was in the computing section.

You spent an hour there and saw no good looking girls? Were your eyes shut the whole time? Most unis will allow you to defer a year, and this usually puts you in a better position for entry as well, you're able to apply earlier for 2004 start plus you've the ability to get more under your belt experience-wise.

are you sure they are being serious?

Yeah mate sure, its getting shite here now, just cant cope. I know I am getting thrown out when I am 18, they keep telling me they are looking forward to my birthday so they can get rid.

i will move out with you matey
i as sitting down 2nite eating my tea and i sed i would leave now if i had somewere to go and they sed go then.... :(
we will chat 2nite matey..

Yeah, well I went to have a look around Sheff Hallam, really really interested in going now. Should be sweet. One downside was that I spent 3 hours there and saw no really good looking girls..........hopefully it will be better when I go.

Ah well, just gonna have to think about it all.

Does anyone know if it is possible to defer your start date for a year after you have been accepted because I could do with a year to get myself on my feet and then move onto uni.

mate i would just go 2 uni, i'm in my 2nd year and although i still stay at my folks gaf, some of my mates are renting a flat and running cars at the same time, with their loans, part time jobs etc

go straight to uni mate

if ur mum does kick u out, then the council has to put u up in emergency accomadation, and that should tie u over till u go uni

ive got 3 mates at sheff hallum, they love it their

Yeah I will do dont worry, its just gonna be hard to figure out what to do, I need to finish college to get to uni but I cant finish college and hold up a full time job to support myself.

If i had just one year out it would be much better, defer my joining for 1 year.

What i mean is that by staying away from your parents house, you qualify for a greater bursary and loan. Well, at least thats how it is in Scotland.

Problem with getting a job just now and going to uni later is whether you'll be able to pull yourself away from that job/income to go to uni.
Have a good think about what to do.

I dont get what ya mean -Aliba- will it be good for me to leave and set up on my own, get a full time job and then go to uni later or should I go now??

I am really stuck as to what to do. I am going to look at Sheff Hallam Uni tomorrow and I will talk to them about my chances of coming in when I am 21!!

Student loans, bursaries etc will help you even more if you are staying on your own.
Think about it. I'm there at the moment, benefits in the future.

anus - there, i said sommin!!!

Make sure u think v. carefully bout it mate!!! could make a big difference to your future!!

BLAH BLAH BLAH

Was wanting to go to Uni in september, but it looks like that idea has gone out the window.

I am 17 at the moment, and live at home with my mum and setpdad. I dont get on with them too well, been told many times that I am being kicked out when I turn 18, which is April the 24th.

So now I need to look for somewhere to live, its possible to live with my dad but he is 100 miles away so I would have to loose all my friends. He said he would support me until I finish college if my mum does kick me out.

So now I am looking for a place to rent, get everything sorted. Because of the way the contracts work i wont be able to leave for uni, and to be able to support myself in rented accomodation I would need a decent full time job which I cant get at the moment because of college on a wednesday, so would have to hunt for a suitable job.

So basically everything has gone tits up...........dunno why I posted, just wanted to get it off my chest and see if anyone has anything to say.
