Mum wants to live with me at Uni

word. when I read "sharing the same room" my eyes actually stretched.

Worst part, for me. Imagine.

find a boyfriend or girlfriend. just live at there's

YOU shared the link to Cambridge's team to impress the OP. Yes - I'll stop there but why do the uni not do better if their course is so great?

maybe get those shower curtain rod thingies between the beds

I don't need to be impressed about Cambridge. I already know its good there
You can't just judge the entire engineering course based on some extra curricular competition. Besides, people who aren't doing engineering can also take part.

That's the same for every uni though - Cambridge is not as good as it was as it has not changed to reflect what industry wants.

My dad lives overseas and me and my mum lives in the UK.
We currently rent our house.
I'm going to uni soon but it would be too expensive to carry on renting our current house.
Both my parents agree that they want my mum to live with me at uni, which means instead of of living in the halls, I am living externally.
The problem (aside from socially) is that since the standard of living and living costs is higher at the area of my uni, it is likely that we would be renting a single room together and my mum and I would be living in the same room. It will also still be more expensive than in uni accommodation, though they say that this is the cheaper option and is better since my mum can watch over me and make sure I am studying and not fooling around or getting married secretly, etc etc.

I'm not sure how to proceed tbh.

The thing to do is to get a job and save money, I would say. Also, it’s honestly not a big deal to live with one’s mum

I can guarantee the OP isn’t a British native. Hence, it raises the question why we allow people who can barely afford to live in the U.K. to come here, especially when there’s 700k unemployed (and that’s excluding economically inactive, which would raise it to 4 million):

This site is full of incel racists. Her family’s income is £60,000 a year, the issue is that they don’t want her to take out any SFE (Which is stupid seeing as they clearly don’t have the money to comfortably pay tuition outright), not that they’re destitute. And if she did well enough in her A Levels to get an offer from Imperial, then highly doubt her destiny is to be the non-English speaking, benefit scrounging immigrant that you’ve imagined in your delusional mind.

You’ve made nearly 4000 posts on this site within the space of 4 years but you’re the one who supposedly has a life outside of this website? 😂 You’re clearly more delusional than I thought, weirdo.
