    All courses other than nursing as far as I know are approximately 15 hours a week spread over the week. You could get them all out of the way in three days, or you could have something on each day, its entirely up to how timetabling works.

    Yeah haha main reason is because of the cost, for me anyway. Even if I applied for accommodation doubt I would get it because how close I live.

    Can't wait to start now! what courses have you done to get into uni ?

    Yea I would love to move out but at the moment it's not possible just brought myself a new car to enable me to get to Chester from helsby and then to work

    I have a BETC national in care but I have just finished a access to higher education only took 12 months and I did chemistry biology and physics

    I'm exactly the same, need money to keep my car on the road, insurance costs mostly ahaa, and need to get to work too!

    sounds really interesting, I've done A-levels over the last two years, Health and Social Care, Biology and Psychology. I've done something called Welsh Baccalaureatte aswell, youve probably never heard of it though haha it involves key skills like numeracy, communication and ICT.

    Regret not taking chemistry now, feel like I'm going to be at a bit of a disadvantage when we get to the molecular stuff, see how I get on haha

    It's a bummer paying for a car I got 5 years no-claims so it's relatively cheap

    No I never herd of it

    I only did basic chemistry only involved 3 units and it's not my favourite subject lol however when I went to an application day the tutor said that the first year is to get everyone to the same standard because people have come from different backgrounds in terms of education and they go through the basics first. How true this is though will soon be found out

    We're did u do your a-levels?

    Yeah I have heard that the first year is to get everyone up to the same standard too, I can already see me struggling with the chemistry side of it all.

    Did them at Connah's Quay High School (next to Deeside College), been there for the last 7 years, glad to finally get out of there haha
