When deciding which university you want to go to, it will always be hard to decide whether you want to move away from home or not! There are probably more pros to cons for staying at home because at the moment, this is all you know. Your parents cooking your dinner, paying for things, taking you places and ensuring you get there on time, how will you cope without that? How will you get up in the morning and who will wash your clothes?<\/p>\n

These being just a fraction of the questions that will be running through your head, well here are our top 10 reasons you should move away for university\u2026<\/p>\n

1. Independence<\/h2>\n

This is no doubt the main factor everyone wants to move away from home for. You may feel too young to be living \u2018on your own\u2019 but there will be plenty of others in this boat too, and you can help each other out.<\/p>\n

\n<\/h6>\n

2. The friends you meet will be for life!<\/h2>\n

Everybody says it, but the friends you meet at university are genuinely for life. And although you\u2019ll make friends if you commute in, they won\u2019t be helping you make pasta for the first time, seeing you hungover before your 9am lecture or sitting up in each other\u2019s room all night watching Netflix. You have a different bond because you\u2019ve been there through it all for each other, the good and the bad.<\/p>\n

3. It might also show you that your friends at home aren\u2019t all that <\/em><\/h2>\n

Even though they may seem the best of friends now and you can\u2019t imagine life without them, you may grow apart if you move away, but this isn\u2019t the end of the world, it just shows that you probably weren\u2019t all as close as you thought. Moving away can be an eye opener for many reasons.<\/p>\n

4. Freshers week<\/h2>\n

The first week is literally about partying! You\u2019ll meet everyone in the same halls as you and you\u2019ll probably meet some of your best friends in this week (you just don\u2019t know it yet!). It\u2019s a chance to explore your new city and campus without any lectures on and if you stay at home to attend a local university you won\u2019t feel part of the \u2018freshers\u2019 vibe.<\/p>\n

\n<\/h6>\n

5. Speaking of your new city<\/h2>\n

A lot of people don\u2019t get the chance to go further than their closest city, but attending university gives you the chance to choose somewhere completely new and different. London, Manchester, Liverpool, Newcastle \u2013 the possibilities are endless!<\/p>\n

6. Find yourself<\/h2>\n

As cringe as it is, it\u2019s true. You may think you have it all figured out now you\u2019re 18, but you don\u2019t (truth is, you probably never will have it all figured out!). But attending a university where you don\u2019t know anyone, you can be yourself. Not being around people that have seen you grow up and have you down as a certain person, you\u2019re free to be who you want, whether that means your confidence grows or you can come out as gay, at university everyone is more open.<\/p>\n

7. Responsibilities<\/h2>\n

Along with your new-found independence comes new responsibilities. The biggest one being learning how to budget, something you probably won\u2019t get to grips with in your three years at uni. Food shopping, clothes washing and bed making, it\u2019s not all fun and games.<\/p>\n

8. Lectures<\/h2>\n

If you have to commute in you\u2019ll be less likely to go, and on the plus side, you\u2019re probably about 5 minutes away from your 9am! Meaning at least an extra hour in bed!<\/p>\n

\n<\/h6>\n

9. Assignments<\/h2>\n

You may find when it comes to your dissertation or any other major university projects, you\u2019re working every possible hour you can. But when you\u2019re on campus you have access to the library within a five-minute walk \u2013 not an hour\u2019s commute. And you\u2019ll find you\u2019re all in the same boat, or the same library at 2am! You won\u2019t feel the pressure to go home or get the last train, which may not seem a big deal now, but you\u2019ll thank me in the future.<\/p>\n

10. Finally, the final reason you should move away from home for university, it will genuinely be the best experience you have.<\/h2>\n

You\u2019ll make friends and memories that last forever, see new places and try things you never thought you would.<\/p>\n
