Help me decide what to do!

Currently I'm on a National Diploma in Animal Management. I want to specialise in dogs [this course covers hardly any content on dogs] however my problem is that the course I want to do either:

OR

[Yes I want to be that specialised] are only available by distance learning or in the case of the latter, part time which is once a week.

I want to live on a campus and experience living away from home but I want the student life hence why I want to stay on the campus.

Now my dilemma is do I do one of those courses and miss out on the experience of moving out, or do I choose a more general course like I am on at the moment which doesn't really help me in terms of the species I want to work with. May I also point out that I can do other courses related to canines by distance learning but they won't be degrees and I also would have a degree doing something else.

Please help :frown:
