Got to go go to enrolment next week to sign up to college, and choice which level BETC to take depending on my grades.

Do you think my parents should come along and see the college? Or would you say it's best to go on your own?

Consult with your parents...

like I said I have, but don't know anyone who's gone to college, so wondered if anyone on here could give advice.

Do it on your own, start living independently.

I went with mine to ease the awkwardness, and to have someone to talk to whilst you're waiting around.

Go by yourself. Gain independence. It's time to cut the umbilical cord. Be a man. Step into the world alone. Form friends on enrolment day. Man up!

Depends if they're going in CBB i suppose

When I enrolled, I went by myself as I was quite an independant teenager, plus my parents always said whatever decision I make was the right decision as it's what I wanted and only you know what's best for you (or some shizzle like that).

My dad went with me, and loads of other parents were there too. I suppose it doesn't really matter either way though because if it's anything like mine you just walk in, tell someone what grades you got, sign a form to say which a levels you want to pick and walk out again. The whole thing only took like 10 minutes before we were out and back in the car again.

Im going to a college and handing them my passport, national insurance number etc. I am independent, I do nearly everything on my own - Im not about to go into War.

I dont see how going to college with your parents is not 'being a man'.

The umbilical cord was cut 16 years ago,

You're stepping into the world alone. You will take charge of asking the right questions. not rely on your parents. If something goes wrong, you will rely on yourself, not your parents. It's a great learning step.

Fine take your parents. Be that guy that on the first day that people are sizing up future classmates, project mates, future friends, you're the guy that brought his parents and maybe couldn't go out for a drink with the people that already bonded when registering for the same course.

Do what you want
