I just chose my firm and insurance and I might have a breakdown

i chose newcastle as firm and leicester as insuracne
havent applied for student finance or the accomodation
i think im ****ed..
my parents don't support me in my decision and I havent told them yet what Ive done and I havent visisted either of my unis. Idek if I'll be able to commit to this, I feel so numb but so confused rn.. i thought i really wanted to go newcastle and I do but I just have this feeling of dread. I really just need emotional support at the moment..

You can apply for student finance now? Most of my friends hadn't by this point either

A lot of unis haven't even sent their accommodation emails

Relax..

how do you even apply for student finance or accomodation?
well it's not just that, I'm not sure how to face my family

it’s a big decision to put yourself first and choose what you want instead of what your family want, but it will be the best one you ever make. It’ll also be scary as hell. But that’s a big part of why you’ll feel so proud of yourself when you’re at uni.

Student finance - https://www.gov.uk/student-finance-register-login the website is pretty self explanatory, and you can apply any time (but sooner rather than later as it can take six weeks to process)

Accommodation - how it works is different for every uni but they will send you an email when you can apply and a link to where. A quick google will probably give you more info about the options at your uni.

Family - it’s a tricky one. I’d choose the most supportive member and talk to them privately. Show them the uni, the course, tell them you’re worried and need their support. Hopefully they will accept and support you. If not it’s not the end of the world. You just have to find a way to compromise or go it alone.

Newcastle - i’ve lived there my whole life. It’s a really friendly city, not too crowded and there’s lots to do. I don’t think it’s really that much colder up here.... but you can always bring a coat!

I had a meltdown at the weekend thinking I couldn’t manage uni, freaking out about committing to it. But when I calmed down a bit and my friend talked sense into me I did some research and it’s never too late too change your mind. Student finance isn’t final and you can cancel it at any point until the start of term when money starts to move. Same with uni, you’re not bound to anything until you enroll in person when you start. I’m totally freaked about moving somewhere i’ve never been where I don’t know anyone but i’m really excited too, it’s a big adventure and you’ve got to take risks!

This was probably way too long but you’re not alone in feeling like you do, sometimes we need to take a few days and clear our minds and get our thoughts in order. My feeling of dread from friday has churned into nervous excitement and hopefully yours will too!

hey thank you so much!
this has been really helpful and calmed me down a lot so ty
which uni have you applied to?
