"Home or Away? Where's best to live..."

 

Newest Review: ... so we decided to let it out and buy another house on the coast. If we didn't settle after a reasonable time we would just go back! So after much trial and tribulation (I hate house hunting) we arrived here in sunny South Devon. Has it lived up to our expectations? You bet it has. When I drop my youngest off at school I drive along the coast, the view is still magical to me, we did worry that it would just become ordinary after a while but it never has. I then drive to work, Dartmoor opens up in front of me, I cross the Dart and arrive at my office. I knew I wanted to stay forever but the rest of the family were more cautious. Aft... more

Like alot of people from the industrial Midlands I always longed to live somewhere away from the city. The seaside has a special magic for people who need to travel at least three hours to reach a decent beach, so it was my dream to live at the sea. Well about twelve years ago it seemed the ideal time to move, it just fitted in with work and family commitments so we decided to go for it. To be honest we did have a safety net, our house was bought and paid for so we decided to let it out and buy another house on the coast. If we didn't settle after a reasonable time we would just go back! So after much trial and tribulation (I hate house ...  Read the complete review

Thousands of young people leave home each September for University, but there are also thousands who stay at home...so which is the best option? First off, I will say that this may become a slightly bias opinion as I left my family in Scotland to take up my place at Durham Uni. I never even considered living at home - in fact, I purposely applied to Universities in Northern England because I considered this to a decent enough distance to move...close enough to go home if there was a problem but I would never be bringing my washing home each weekend. As far as I can see, three are 3 types of student - the ones that live at home, the ones that live away ...  Read the complete review

It's your first week at university. This is different from the first time you went to school, or college, because, for the first time (well, for most people) not only are these people that you're meeting going to be your friends, colleagues, occassional partners and future rivals, if you've decided that you're not living at home, they're going to be your housemates. A lot of people will leave home for the first time when going to university. The whole idea of being an adult, and finally striking out on your own is both exciting and scary. After all, without mum around, who's going to do all your washing, and pick everything up after you? ...  Read the complete review

Deciding where to go to university is a huge decision, one that should not be taken lightly as it has the potential to affect your working life and career after you graduate. While many factors need to be taken into consideration – how good is the college?; what are the entry requirements?; is the course content what I am looking for? – a major decision that needs to be made by a lot of students is whether they want to live at home during their course, or move away. -------------------------------------------- Living at home This option is worth considering if a local college offers a course you are interested in and you could ...  Read the complete review
