so.............. in a few weeks, i'm off.
still want to come home every few weeks to see friends and
the missus of course. is it sensible to bring the car up so
i can drive home and back every now and then?

Depends on how far away it is and how much money you've got
:)

Depends what parking is like at the university/how far from
home it is/whether you have a laptop or desktop PC and also
what public transport links are like.

You're probably not likely to use the car around uni much as
generally the studenty areas (student houses/pubs/the campus
itself) all tend to be within walking distance.

yeah check parking- my university tries to discourage
car-bringers by charging loadsamoney

£40 a month. i am considering it, for the first few months
at least.

ceri: yeah, i doubt i would use it while i was there, only
for going home and back.

do most people start out like this at first:? saying they
will go home every week to see old friends etc., but
eventually give up and stay with new friends at uni?

if you go home all the time you wont make friends as much.
most people hardly go home at all in my experience

Re: Going home. What Dannn_ said.

You'll also probably find that if you go home all the time,
there won't be many people there, if lots of your mates have
gone to uni too. I found it better to arrange a couple of
meet ups throughout each term where everyone made an effort
to be back for the same weekend.

You'll probably go home less and less as time wears on.
Depends how far away you are, but aside from the cost,
travelling eats into your weekend time too.

yeah, maybe. mind you i only have 2 other friends who are
going to university so most will still be around back home.
i will probably go back less and less though over time

oh yes, at first I went home every weekend, in the end I
never went home, except for the summer holidays...
