    Aww ;console; I'm sure you will still make lots of friends. I know it will be trickier to socialise living at home but that doesn't mean it wont be just as fab. I'm sure your boyfriend will appreciate your closeness . Do you live in/near York?

    At the moment I'm in York, but home is Portsmouth - 270miles away! I still do have some friends at home but it's still gonna be sad leaving everyone here. My bf will still be 90 miles away (compared to about 200 when I'm in York)
