 Hello all :) My name is Katie and I'm from Leamington Spa (warwickshire). I'm 19 and doing AA100 in Febuary! :) I dropped out of a brick university in December 2010 as I was terribly home sick. I now work full time but still haven't given up on my degree :) My plan is to focus on art history and classical studies. Always interested in meeting other students, regardless of  course age or location :) xxx

Hi all.

My name is Laura (: I'm 19 years old and I live in Cardiff, Wales.

I'm studying BU130 Working and learning: developing effective performance at work and DSE141: Discovering Psychology - studying two!

At the moment I don't really know what I want to do. I'd like a degree in Business and Management and Psychology but can't decide which one to do first, so I thought I'd do a module from each!

I 've never wanted to go to uni as the thought of moving just doesn't appeal to me, so giving this one a go! Wish me luck!

 

Good luck everyone! xx

Hi all,

I'm not sure whether I've introduced myself on here or not... it all gets a bit confusing!

If I have, apologies...

I'm 22 I live in Oxford and I'm studying my openings course 'Starting with psychology' If all goes well I'll be starting my degree next May. It's going well so far, and I've had my first marked assignment back which was better feedback than I thought I'd receive.

I have a question about paying for new modules, I want to pay monthly but I haven't registered for the module yet, do I need to this before I can apply to pay monthly?

Good luck everyone!

Corrin

Hello everyone!

I'm Vicky 19 living in East Yorkshire or (Up North) as everyone says although i don't have the famous accent thanks to my Grandad forcing us all into speech classes as kids (embarassing fact!) Im starting DD101 in January and very excited to do so!

Studying at the Open University because I have little people at home that needs me so conventional university is out of the question but before the image of trackies and vodka bottles comes into your heads, I have a lovely home, partner that works, and a great little family which i adore! Things didn't go the way i expected got all my GCSES started college then BOOM! or shoud I say baby boom! But glad to be getting back into and making the most of my time at home.

Good Luck to everyone! good to know theres some younger people studying here!
