I came to Uni here after a long time debating it, i wasnt sure if it was for me, but since making up my mind and actually comming, despite all of the fears and worries about debt and social life and relationships and my course, its been some of the best weeks of my life. I've never felt as sociable as i do naturally now, and with all the new awesome people ive met in lessons / am living with, they've made me come out of my shell a lot. Living away from home was pretty wierd to start off with, but honestly the university is such an accomodating and welcoming place that this just feels like a second home to me now, just as much as back home is still my "home", i feel i've settled in here really well, and im sure you'll do the same, so try not to let your doubts control you too much, because its an experience you dont want to miss!
