I understand too. My son will be going in September but I will make sure that if Uni is not for him that we will understand and fully support his decision. I couldnt bear to think he would be unhappy and away from home. Just be there for him as you already are, he sounds a really nice lad, and something will come up perhaps he will be a very successful antiques dealer! I have heard of alot of similar cases where some people although they looked forward to Uni just found it so alien to them that they could not adjust, he certainly is not a failure. Wish you both well in whatever decision is reached.
