I started uni of sussex on Saturday and moved in, the first few hours were okay, then I didn’t stop crying and didn’t eat or sleep and ended up going home on the Monday. I only live about an hour train ride away, I live @ my boyfriends house with his family (he’s in the navy) and have grown to love living here. I’m undecided as to whether stay @ uni of sussex in the accommodation, and I’m sure I would get used to it eventually but I would be coming home every weekend to see my boyfriend as I barely get to see him as it is. I don’t see the point in paying loads and loads for accommodation which I won’t be in for half the week, and paying train fares back on top of that. I’m not the biggest going out person (hence coming home for freshers week 😂) and I rlly don’t think I would be missing out if I didn’t live in dorms. I’m very happy chilling @ home with my bfs family and dog watching Netflix. I kinda already want to transfer to a uni closer to me that I could catch the train into everyday (only 20 mins) and get my degree, possibly meet up with a few friends during the week but mainly chill and get a job and work alongside uni. It would mean I could see my bf a lot more and cut out all the travelling. The only thing I’m worried about is regretting it? During sixth form I went to school came back and chilled and really didn’t mind it. Especially as clubbing and drinking isn’t my thing. I feel as though as an 18 year old I feel the pressure to love going out and having the “uni experience” but idk if that is for me. The idea of staying home seems more suited to me. I just don’t know what to do and honestly haven’t stopped crying since I moved in(and even when I came home) I just feel so so confused. Just kinda looking for some advice on what to do and peoples experiences living @ home vs dorms. I get i might only be feeling like this due to the initial shock of moving in and people say I will have to move out one day, but I just don’t know if im ready yet :/Any advice would be appreciated
