My son seems to love it, he's still lives at home. He starts his second year in September. My daughter got a job after she left college and did more studies at Uni in the evenings, so she has all her qualifications and had a nice savings account, until she bought her own house. Her company paid for her courses too. M.

I loved it in Sheffield, Daniel but at first was very homesick.I now look on it as one of the best periods of my life, However I wish I'd had better careers advice and done more vocational training, Yeah I have a degree but it doesnt qualify me for much, Cazxxxxxxxxx

I went to Uni and the job that I do now I could have done without my degree. It did however put me in a better position and I have got further up the ladder than most people of the same age as myself. I wish that I could have gone when I really knew what I wanted as what you want at 18 is so different to what I would do now. It was a fantastic experience and a great reason to move out of the family home.
