FFK96: Preparing your child for university food - fully catered halls of residence

Today is the first of a two parter about preparing a child to feed themselves if they go to university or another post 18 route that requires living in dorms or shared accommodation.The two episodes will run slightly long, to pack everything in without running to multiple episodes so please excuse the slightly longer run time than usual.Joanne is going to be talking about two different aspects, the catered route where you pay in your accommodation fees to include some or all of your food, and then the self catering route where some cooking facilities are provided and you make your own meals. For these episodes Joanne talks to her two grown up children Jacob and Anna, who both finished university in the last couple of years.In this first episode it's an interview with Jacob about his first year at uni when he lived on campus in a university where everyone who is on campus is fully catered. The brochure and the open days looked like a great set up, but for a bunch of reasons, he found the reality of it pretty tricky.Links in this episode:Music "Happy Days" by Simon Folwar via Uppbeat
