Congratulations! I'm exactly the same age as you, and can't wait to get started. Have you had to split your time between studying, working and looking after three kids?
I was a bit late applying, I guess I had an epiphany a couple months ago that I really wanted to go to uni this year.
What are you currently studying/have studied: I have a B in History A Level, a D in Classical Civilisations and a few AS grades.
Which universities are you applying to: Durham (still waiting), Goldsmiths (still waiting), Sheffield (got an interview later this month), Derby and Keele (offers from both).
Which course(s) do you want to do: History with a Foundation year.
Any other info you feel like sharing: I've just turned 21. Tryna find someone else looking to do the same course as me.

What are you currently studying/have studied: Currently full time student of HND Administration and IT
Which universities have you applied: Rejected from Heriot-Watt and Uni of Edinburgh, but currently holding a firm offer for Edinburgh Napier (3rd year entry) and unconditional offer for Queen Margaret (1st year entry). These are for full time study, but considering reverting to part time either at Napier or the OU, as I'd like to start working full time again ASAP.
Which course(s) do you want to do: Business Management (top up degree)
Any other info you feel like sharing: Well, I'm 24, been in and out of various employment and education, forever wondering what I want to do with my life. I still don't know 100%, but I think I'll follow the business administration path for now. I don't enjoy the student lifestyle much and I miss having money, which is why I'm considering the challenge of working and studying. Good luck to me, ha!

Woo. Congratulations
Going to be studying Computer Science for the first time in September, pretty psyched to be honest!
I applied at Leeds, Manchester, Durham, Hull and Lancashire. After visiting them and attending interviews I got two unconditional offers, but decided to go with Hull... Just felt right, if a uni can feel right?

Anyone else going to herts?
27, excited and biomedical science here 😆.Would love to know what other mature students are doing about accom.
I failed the OH for my first choice of course so this has been more than a little hurried! But I'm weirdly more excited to be doing biomedical than I was about my first choice, more competition for jobs but its what I would love to study.
Current access student and had offers from ARU, leeds, surrey and my local college.
