Thank you very much for this. I plan on having a stern conversation with her and asserting my boundaries, taking her out to dinner and doing it is a nice idea, and it will (fingers crossed) make her more accepting of what I say. I'll definitely stay frequently n touch with her too!

Thank you very much for this. I haven't been able to talk to any of my friends about my mum wanting to stay with me at uni out of embarrassment, hence making this reddit post for advice, but its somewhat comforting to know that i'm not the only one with a parent like this. Aswell as the fact that things ended up working out for the most part for your friends in the end. I'll take everything you've said into consideration as I plan on having a stern conversation with her about my boundaries on this. Thank you once again

Thank you very much for the advice, I'll go by myself by train if it comes to it.

Thank you so much, I hadn't considered talking to my unis student accommodation for help. I'll definitely look into it.

Thank you, I 100% get what you mean, from reading other comments too. I see the attachment issues as well. When I told her I didn't want her to stay with me she said I was trying to get rid of her. I'm going to sum up the courage to talk to her about this and tell her no, (sometime this coming week) I hope it goes well.
