Starting university courses can be a massive break away from what most people are used to doing in life, whether they took a break from education to work or not, and preparing for it can be difficult. In addition to ensuring you have met all of the requirements needed to attend university and take the course you want, you also need to learn how to live by yourself; managing your own finances, accommodation, education and more.
Most schools offer some degree of an education on what to expect when going to university, a necessity for many people who have no idea what to expect. This education can cover a number of things which will make the change in your circumstances more manageable; both with the way you need to care for yourself and how the change in the structure of your education can be approached.
