I hear you but also we have lived experience when moving from nz to oz when our eldest was 16, he found it too hard to adapt hence the reason he has gone back to uk. mind you I must say we were all miserable in the first couple of years here, so that didn't help. we were thinking about staying for him to complete year 10 or even yr 12 (if I could stick it that long) but then I was hearing something about not being eligible for uni support as have not been in the uk for two years prior to starting uni??? have you heard about that
