Question Trips home while at college ?

Hi all,

First time poster, but have been reading for a while.

I am due to start the college later in the year and I am looking forward to it.

My situation is that I am married with two young kids who will be staying at home with my Wife in Ayrshire, Scotland while I'm in Bournemouth.

Presumably there are others in this situation and I would like to know how they got on. How often are you able to get home? are you able to plan it a while in advance? I could fly home each weekend with Ryanair, Bournemouth-Prestwick(sat afternoon-sun afternoon) quite inexpensively with a bit of planning.

Is this a realitic idea, given the workload ?

While I'm here I may aswell ask if anyone could give me a reasonable indication of the chances of me ending up back in Prestwick, which would obviously be a dream come true for me. Assuming I follow the Area path and am one of the lucky ones who are successful ?

I guess that say 50 on course, 80/20 area/approach
40 do Area, 80/20 swanwick/prestwick
hence 32 for swanwick, 8 for prestwick.

Just a guess, could anyone give me an educated one please.

We are trying to make plans as to the possibilty/probability of relocation.

Any answers are greatly appreciated.

Paul.
