Everyone bangs on like it's the end of your life if you don't go. No wonder kids get ill through worry and develop all sorts of mental torture complexes. Calm down. Relax. That's what I say.

I wouldn't know, I've never been ;-)

When I got my degree in Molecular Biology i had a great time at Uni....... OK I fibbed I didny go, but I may go back and study for a degree on stilletos and hair mousse one day ;-)

My daughter lasted six weeks there,left homesick, she was only an hour away.. Eventually did a degree at open University and a Masters...! * waves to Lemon and Juliecat * ps Son didn't want to leave home either, was 24 when he left !!

*waves to Lemon and Polly* Lemon pmsl :-)

Waves back to Polly....I spent a night at Aston Uni, when my bruv graduated, slept on his floor, oh did I have a hang over so I quite liked Uni ;-)

Hi Carol......waves to Julie...we will get told off for all this waviong soon, as everyone will get sea sick

Well Dan All i can say is University was a BLAST for me mate lol Steve

Never went, didn't interest me in the slighest.

My daughter feels very pressured at college to go onto Uni. She feels that they spend 2 years pushing you in that direction. She has made the decision not to go. Jacky :-)

Steve I am sure anywhere you were would be a blast sweetie :-)

After you antics last night I'm sure it was Steven

* I am watching you two * !!Steve and Dan !! * waves to Steve*

My Niece went and had a ball, they lived like slobs and party's every night, she did end getting her degree and doing very well for herself but when at Uni it did not appear she was doing anything but party with her mates LOL

I don't think young peeps should be pressured to go to Uni - I went cos I wanted to and not straight after a levels - had a brill time! Kaz :o))

*considers becoming a mature-ish student and going to Uni - sounds fun*

Lemon babes mwwahhhhhhhhhhhhhh Polly Mwahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh waves Hmmm Dan is using my Sunday name now lol Oh Lems ya right it is a Blast wherever i go pmsl Sxx

I bet it is Steve...now behave cos if you curl my toes I wont be able to get my scarlet stilletos on :-)

Think the great thing about Uni or college is that often it acts as a stepping stone between living at home (and being reliant on parents) and being on your own in the big bad world of employment. If it's a case of going to Uni purely for the qualification, then that can always be done later, if the motivation is high. I did both, but with a 12 year gap. No regrets. Great social life first time round and later worked hard, (whilst on full pay!! ) during Iyr secondment to convert certificate to a degree Jay

Best 3 years of my life. Loved every minute. Gwynne
