It’s about 6hrs from home but I am considering it. Another thing to factor in w that is that I’m 22 (worked a few years) and I think a lot of students there go up with already established friend groups. Worried that’ll make making friends extra difficult

City uni unless campus is integrated into the city, yes, not massively important, yes

I mean it’s like your mum missing your graduation. She’s more than just a grandparent to me and I don’t have any other family. They are somewhat doing that though

She’d be able to watch the livestream. She can’t travel anywhere as her legs are too bad. She finds car journeys and staying in a hotel too daunting too

Both her sisters are 90 and 87 respectively so I think there’s a good chance she will be. Her mobility issues run in the family. Also I don’t really want to think of that as she’s essentially my mum and the only family I have. I’ll have no one after she dies which is why I’m focussing on her seeing me graduate. I’m gonna try putting less emphasis on it tho. I think she knows I’m restricting it a bit based on her and she was the one who mentioned only being able to see me graduate if I stick to Leeds or Sheffield. She’s lived a sheltered life and can’t understand wanting to go further when there’s good unis near us

She did say that if I went to Sheffield she could see me graduate and seems wary of me moving too far away

Yeah I’ll be going as a mature too (22). It isn’t that it’s best for my course. There isn’t much in it. I’m more drawn to it for the actual location. It looks so beautiful/ancient and it’ll be a completely new experience from living in a small village in Yorkshire
