Im 19 and studying Corporate Law at the University of Salford in a weeks time .I'm a quiet and independent person and havent really had a lot of friends from a young age.So I decided to get my accomodation right bang in the middle of the city.I thought this will be a good idea because I am surrounded by students all over the city and will this help me socially/psychologically.I can travel by train or bus or even walk to my university.I also wanted to get a part time job around the Arndale centre or piccadilly gardens whilst at university.THere is also a 24/7 gym which I would like to join
I want to keep myself busy at university ,whilst making full use of the city.My mum and family(such as relatives) expect me to stay locked in my room and then cook a meal the go to uni ,come back ,cook another meal ,study and then go to sleep.But I would like to keep busy.
Im paying £117 a week for the room ,they have suggested coming back every weekend and ringing that I have entered uni and left uni,entered the accommodation and stuff like that .
Another thing my mum has restricted me from going to a nightclub,she has said dont get too involved in freshers week .She said if everyone in your flat wants to go out you say "no I dont want to end up like you"
Is this fair?
I really dont want to come back home to her questioning about everything.
Another thing is that my grandmother wants me to be out there mixing with other people,however she doesn't want me to be mixing with to many people an too often
for example,
I recently joined a swimming pool and met a couple of new people,she and my mother were pleased that I was more active and getting out of the house and being more productive.However a few weeks later she and my mum completely turned the other way and were like "Why are you going swimming everyday with these friends" she then suggests staying with the people at home more often.
This is what I don't understand on how to approach my upcoming uni life and my family.
What do you suggest?
Thank you
Put the internet to work for you.
