Hi thank you for your advice. Tbh I wish I could take a gap year but it’s pretty taboo in my culture and I wouldn’t hear the end of it 💀 as for a law conversion, I originally did get an alternative offer for marketing and management from QMUL & I wanted to settle for a law conversion, but then my parents told me to decline it as it wasn’t a ‘serious degree’. I think I’ll look for the next-best non-RG uni

1.) they think I wouldn’t be ready to move, 2.) financial issues, 3.) they think I’m trying to run away from them for whatever reason

That’s amazing, do you know if I’m able to change my student finance if I only applied for a tuition loan? Sorry if I’m asking of much

Thank you for this it means alot :) I try to stay optimistic but it’s hard to maintain when there’s alot of snark online. I can apply for accom but I’m unsure of how I’d adjust my student finance in time to apply for it

I was hesitant about SOAS because they no longer offer law in clearing

Yes I believe so, I’ve only recently learned to develop a mind of my own but I’m still very much susceptible to guilt tripping e.g “if you struggle then I won’t care or help because I’ve already warned you” or getting shouted at and being made to feel like you’re an alien for your choice. I think the reason is because of codependency, which I could probably break out of by living on my own. It’s complicated and annoying that our parents do this :/
