I'm 21 and have a place at University of Nottingham studying philosophy on the arts foundation pathway - I have no A Levels due to personal problems so they've basically accepted me on the condition I achieve my CertHE (from the Open University)... can't believe how lucky I am
Hi, I may not be the most mature person in this forum (I'm only 20), but having been out of education for a couple of years, I just want some tips on how to prepare for uni. I'm going to be studying chemistry and I've already started to read over my A level notes just to jog my memory. But I was just wondering if anyone has any tips to fresh up my knowledge near the level that the average straight out of school student would have

Oh gosh - very small world! I was in George last year.
I'm doing Accounting and Finance at UCLAN. A bit daunting as I'm 36 and leaving a full time job. But it's what I want to do.

When I did my first Bachelor Uni fees where in the region of 1000-1500 pounds and my parents were still in full time work, I have always worked part time as pastry chef, pizza chef and waiting table when I was in my early 20s.
When I started the OU I have managed to enroll before the new expensive fees came in, therefore only paid a couple of grant for my whole degree and Yes whilst working as Pilot first and later in many different position within my airline.
for My MSc there is a chance that I will qualify for student finance as form this year they are start offering PG Loans, but If I won't I have now enough savings to take me trough the course, may be 34 but I can still work part time even in a coffee shop if I have to, despite my age I still wanna dream and make a difference, I believe in me and I encourange anybody young or not so young to do the same...
Good Luck!
