Public transport was a big one for me, moving to uni was like "There's more than two buses an hours?!"

Mine was more "buses actually exist?". There are only 5 buses a day that run every couple hours at really inconvenient times in my village so obviously no one ever uses them. Plus there are no shops or post offices or anything in my village, so coming to uni was a big culture shock, but in a good way

Gosh your village had even less stuff than mine, must have been such a nice shock to suddenly have all that stuff near you.

Lmao that's the opposite for me. When I started uni I was like "Why the **** is there only ONE bus an hour?!"

Yeah, I couldn't get out of that place soon enough. I don't consider my hometown home anymore. My uni town will always be home now
- knowing im the first in my family to do it
- realising im not an academic dumb ass
- studying/finding out stuff i didnt know before
- the feeling oh having high qualifications (highest is level 4 atm, i hold this certificate in my posession already)
