Advice needed - first child going to college !!

Posts: 80 Forumite
Hi Folks,
Had to happen sometime :-)
Eldest going to an audition/interview for music college next week.
Any general and/or specific advice from the wealth of knowledge on this site for me ??
He is 16 and the college is 100 miles away so we will need to arrange digs/flat for him.
I am tempted by a room in a family home (the college has no halls of residence) as this will mean he is maybe looked after a little better (any bets??).
pros/cons of this ??
I will check with the student office while he is doing his audition with regard to fee's etc.
I was told he will get his fee's paid and may be eligible for a bursary.....
p.s. we are in Scotland
many thanks in advance
