Yes I would. The amount of students in a university means the chances of seeing your mum are slim. This isn't high school.

unless it was oxbridge (i.e. you can choose a different college) I wouldn't.
I would because if you would be in different years whats the problem. As others have said there is so many people doing each course in uni the chances of actually seeing here are slim. And when you are there who needs to know shes your mum? Noone.

I don't see a problem. The deciding factors should be which course you want to study and which university you think best suits you and your needs. If this happens to be the same one that your mom is at then at least someone can give you a hand if you are finding a bit of work hard! It's unusual for the different years to have much contact so it's not like you're going to be sat in lectures together.

I knew of a woman and her daughter a few years ago who were due to start studying medicine together in the same year..

i'm doing the same subject as my mum's friend, and she's in all my seminars too... it's weird, even though she's not my mum. i imagine it'd be even weirder with my mum in there!

but if she's not in your lectures and seminars, i can't see a problem with it =]

I don't see the problem with this. If you want to study the course and it happens to be at the same University then so be it - as long as you feel that it'll get you to where you want to go and that you will have an enjoyable time while at University then go for it!

I don't see a problem at all! As long as you're in different years, and your mum isn't always there making sure you're not getting drunk and getting with people, it's awesome.

I dont see much of a problem, you wont see much of each other anyway.

What does your mum say? She might feel it could "cramp her style", meaning she will probably be much more "childish" when she isn't in her "Mum role".
