I know the change in government support of education must be stressful, but it is manageable. Hopefully, the next few years will provide time for this part of it to become a smaller obstacle in his mind, especially if he is able to come up with pathways around large debt. I live in the U.S. and we also pay for our education, and I was able to step up from a community college to a university about halfway through.

Our community colleges are two-year colleges where you can earn an Associate's Degree and the campuses are much smaller. If there is an equivalent in England, it may also address his concerns about the number of people, overwhelming social settings, etc...
