Hi my name is Lisa, i am a disabled student starting W100.

I have tried studying at Chester Uni twice, but had to withdraw as my disability support was really inadequate. I was failed by conventional Universities and im desperately hoping that The Open uni can support me to achieve a Law Degree.

Though im a bit stressed as not recieved anything from the Disabled Students Allowance (open uni) yet. Even though i have applied.

Is there anyone out there that can offer some advice or experiences that will help reassure me.

Does anyone out there want others to study with, bounce ideas off or even have others for moral support.

Thanks

 

Lisa.

Hiya Lisa, have you sorted the DSA yet?

I've been out of education for about 5 years now so I'm a little anxious as to how quickly I'll get used to it again. I think there's quite a few of us in the same boat with regards to worries about the course.

I'm about if you want someone to chat to about the course :o) If not then good luck! hopefully Open Uni will allow to do what other Universitys haven't! 

Claire
