Child off to University this year! Any one else going through this experience?

Back in the day... in my first year at Uni, many of my fellow students would have their parents send them off with a huge supplies of essential foods - pasta, backed beans etc and would boost their supply as and when.

Sadly I can't provide much personal advice as I attended a London Uni and chose not to live on campus or anywhere else except home (mainly due to lack of funds, and didn't want to burden myself with a student loan). Deffo encourage your sprog to get an easy part time job to help when the money gets low tho. :))

One of the more glamorous students in my daughters year at art college, works at Anne Summers, broadened her horizons no end.

Medical tests were made for students!

Nooooo, no the medical tests.

I've a friend who's worked in the pharma industry, mostly in drug trials, for many years. He says all the good drugs are taken up in house. The ones left over for paid volunteers are referred to (quietly) as 2-headed monkey trials.

Could always try being a chugger.

I nearly did one when I was at uni, but my friend and I couldn't manage the required drink and smoke free week leading up to it... Actually I'm not sure we managed a day.
