UPDATE

Hi everyone,

I had to contact an old employer of mine for a reference, so I've sorted that all out and this morning i submitted my application. Wow how exciting!

I have been researching about student loans and it seems people advise to apply as soon as you have submitted your application. I registered with the student finance website this morning, but they haven't got next years option yet?

Does anyone have any idea when they will have next years option, I want to be organised as early possible so nothing can go wrong

UPDATE

Bit strange but today I received a response from Greenwich university to confirm they have received my application and that is before I have received my UCAS letter with my login details so that I can track my application?

Is this normal?

(Today I received a letter that was posted 3 weeks ago!)

Would like to be solicitor at the end of end, who knows...

I'm really excitied and looking forward to it.

The first stage i need to do, is on Monday to contact my Georgraphy teacher who taught me 10 years ago!!! for a reference... wish me luck!

Hi Claire,

I have just turned 30 and in my second year at University of Nottingham studying Law. I also have 3 children, aged 7, 5 and 2. So I know how hard it can be times.

I wish you all the luck, its going to be a tough few years, but hopefully so worth it in the long run.

Anyway just wanted to say if you have any questions about studying law, student loans or just how to fit it all in - please pm me anytime.

Good Luck
