I know its nothing to do with the Uni visits, but how are your kids getting on, DS was upbeat until last night when he seems to be crashing, he seems really overwhelmed at the mo and is under so much pressure, he say's that he is getting no support at college, i have rang 3 times and emailed all his teachers to see if there is a plan that can be implemented so far i have heard nothing back from anyone which is worrying to me.

Hi everyone
Hope you don’t mind me joining in, glad I found this thread! My DS did his A levels this summer, but on results day decided he wasn’t ready for uni this year and deferred his place at Sheffield for Sept 2020.

I completely understand this. The amount of work they get at A-Level is so overwhelming isn't it. DD seems to have no free time any more, she just goes to school then comes home to spend the rest of the day in her room working. Add on the pressure of Uni visits and writing personal statement for UCAS application, it's all getting a bit much. Hope you get some support from college soon.

They rang and plans have been put in place with him to move forward,
she said that A-levels prepare them for life (which i am not sure is strictly true) Worrying never stops does it. |

Hi there, DS who's in Y13 only decided in the summer hols (whilst in pool on Gulf coast) that he was thinking about uni after being sure he wanted to do degree apprenticeship.
He's doing Geography, History and Economics but doesn't know what or where to study, so we've only got 2 visits booked, Leeds and Manchester. He's going to Leeds with a friend and we're taking them to Manchester. We're in NE and he doesn't want to go the Newcastle or as far south as London . Any advice gratefully received! |

Hi, my DD has just started uni this year and I’m on the 2019 uni visit thread so we have just been through this 😀
I would suggest your son looks at some university websites and requests some prospectuses to look through. We found these very useful as they gave details of all the courses available and what modules were studied as well as info about the university itself. My DD made a list of pros and cons from these which helped her decide which unis to visit for open days. Her pros and cons considered the course, the size of the university, the city itself, the university ranking especially in her chosen subject, price of accommodation and how far from home it was. She also found Which? University website had a lot of good information as well as the UCAS website. There is also a lots of opinions and info on last year’s university visit thread on here. Good luck to your son, I hope he finds the course and university that suits him 😀 |
