My son goes to Birmingham uni, studying Environmental science. He lives at home. He manages to be independant (though I still do his washing!) & works part time to earn money. We discussed which uni & the only one he wanted to go to was Brum
We are happy thinking that he will not have as much debt hanging over him as some other students...........so is he!
Have a good look around the different Universities & courses. Whichever you choose I wish you all the best. With your enthusiasm you wil go far
