Housing
Hey everyone I have a issue with my housing atm I'm living in a council flat in a town 12 miles away from my university due to the fact I'm estranged from my family. I've tried to swap my flat for 3 years with no luck as nobody wants it. I applied for the housing register in my university city which they did not accept as I apparently have no connections to meet the requirements. I can't go into student accommodation as not only would I be losing and giving up everything I have I would essentially be homeless during the holidays and once I graduate. I've got no car and would have to commute in which is a two hour journey. I suffer with anxiety and depression and I'm finding this whole situation very stressful and just don't know what to do. I completed an access to get into university and now I'm just feeling like it ended up being a waste of time. I guess I just want some reassurance or any advice really. I feel very alone <3
