My sons were bright, responsible, independent. But university life brought unexpected questions: "Mum, how long do I cook this?" "Is this enough to last until next week?" Laundry, shopping, making friends, knowing when to stay in. The little things nobody talks about before university.
I realised these everyday panics, from cooking to budgeting, added up. Before Uni grew from those phone calls from Bournemouth and Coventry, combining my mum experience with honest student stories to make the transition easier for everyone.
Making the university transition a little easier for everyone.
