| When a child leaves home to go to university it can have an impact on the people around them and especially the parents and carers. These pages will give you information on how you can help your son or daughter manage the move to university, also where you may be able to find information on different aspects of university life and sources of help if you feel your son or daughter is experiencing difficulties with university life. |  |
The information is divided into two main areas: firstly, what you can do to help your son or daughter before they come to university; and secondly, information and sources of advice while they are at university. We have also included a jargon buster on our external links page which you may find useful for demystifying the language of higher education.
