What's it like to work and study in the Channel Islands? Meet Chloe...

Chloe is the Study Magpie, a young OU student who writes and video blogs about her experiences - why she chose the OU, how she's finding working full time and studying for a degree and what it's like living in the Channel Islands.

She's also thinking about doubling up on courses and talks about the flexibility of OU study; how it suits her lifestyle much better than traditional university which she tried, tested and decided wasn't for her.

But what can the OU improve on? Four course start dates instead of two perhaps? Chloe wants to complete her degree as soon as possible and says the gap between course start dates is slowing her down a little. She also struggles to attend the face-to-face tutorials because of where she lives.
