I have the option of staying at home (Up north) or moving down to Bristol to study at UWE.
I'm torn and can't decide if I wanna move away or not. Basically I have no friends as of right now, so I feel moving away will give me a fresh start and a chance to make lots of new friends. On the flip side though I am worried that if I don't make friends, then it's going to be very lonely.
Other thing is the cost of living away. I'll be studying radiography, so I don't think I get as much of a 'loan' as its NHS funded course. Yes, I could get a job (although there is no guarantee that I could find one) but even if I did, I don't want to stress myself out too much whilst studying and doing placement. I want to be able to have free time and enjoy uni.
Obviously if I stay at home ill be better off financially but I fear ill miss out on things, was thinking about moving out for my first year and then moving back home for second year if I make no friends.
What are your thoughts / advice on moving away or staying at home?
