Student Life
Student life won't be anything like what you've experienced before, especially if you're attending a university away from where you live and leaving home for the first time.
You probably feel a mixture of excitement and fear about this, you'll be meeting new people, learning to look after yourself, managing your student finances and budgeting your money whilst you start a course of study for the next few years of your life.
Learning to live independently of your family can be one of the biggest challenges but when you learn to cope with it well it will give you a huge confidence boost.
