Carrie on Being a Student
From dogsbody to doctorate, self-confessed education addict Carrie Walton knows pretty much everything there is to know about being a student and how to squeeze in a full time job, social life and spot of volunteering too. Here she bares all - the highs and the lows - of life as an OU student and poses the questions you've all been wanting to ask.
Society Matters
Society matters to the OU community, so our Society Matters blog is where you’ll find commentary, opinions, the occasional rant, and some lively illustrations, on the issues, personalities and politics that form the fabric of the world we live in - and that affect us all. The blog's edited by Dick Skellington, previously a programme manager in the social sciences faculty.
The UniCyclist
Steven Primrose-Smith calls himself The UniCyclist as he pedals 31,000 kilometres around 50 European cities while studying for two OU degrees and with little more than a solar-powered laptop and a tent. This blog charts the highs and lows of being a student on the move, the challenge of navigating Europe on a bike, and his meets and greets with fellow OU students along the way.
