I remember when my daughter went to uni,after the first couple of weeks she had problems with her bank account(can't recall why) so we had an emergency drive to Colchester with cash so she could buy food!!!6 hour round trip!!

well take £400.00 and hope you come home with change !!!!!!!!!!!!

We spent £40.00 on keys and TV lic and cleaner which you have to pay
about £120.00 on the "card " to get in pubs ...now with that card he gets into pubs/clubs free and drinks are pennys!!!
£100.00 on food shopping
£the rest for books he may need on the first days in uni .....
But we are going north .....................and each uni is different ....


Living on campus is VERY inportant it gives then a "safe "place to meet people

Kemp ,
He went to London,Queen Mary 3 years ago but left after a term.He was very unhappy,and I think where he was living was the real problem.All rooms on campus had gone and he was in this flat a mile or so away and the others werent students and were never there.He actually became quite depressed.
Fingers crossed this time will be a good experience.
How much do you reckon they need to get through freshers week.I think his loan goes in his account on the 29th.

TV licenses are often covered by the uni for fresher ...but do check with your uni .....

Money for freshers week ........no way man we paid last year ...hes on his own this year !!!!

Helen is this your sons first year ??

We can't get a TV Licence he's in a new building & it hasn't got an address yet!Working on a way around it.

I am sat on the floor surrounded by kitchen paraphanalia .He said Mum you put out what you think I will need and then I will choose what I actually need!!!!!!!!!!
My dog is also having a sulk,he probably thinks it is me leaving him again.
Hair has been cut,been to bank to pay last of his overdraft.I was very firm about him closing that account before he goes.
I suppose we need to get TV license.Money for freshers week!!
