To any doubters..... it can be done!!
Well I have just finished my second year at uni and have passed with a first!!! I am sooooo pleased, all that hard work has paid off. It was a really tough year too, so many assignments, so much revision, then straight into placement. I will certainly enjoy my 17 weeks off 
If anyone is unsure of going to uni, especially as a mature student, then it can be done and go for it!!!! I wasted my school years, pissed about, just didn't try hard at all, could not be arsed basically. If you had told me years later I would be doing a science degree in Nutrition and Dietetics I would never have believed it.
But changing career has been one of the best decisions I have ever made and, although obviously it's very tough at times especially financially, I am very glad I made the move and was brave enough to do it.
Also good luck to anyone starting Access courses this September, I loved it and have never looked back!

how old are you , if you dont mind me asking?
Old..... getting older.....
I'm 37 this year, so was 34 when I started my access course, but I had been looking into a career change for a while before then and had started a Human Biol AS at night school. It probably took two/three years of planning to get onto the access course, this did included having a baby along the way.
Back then it seemed so very daunting to be out of full-time work for a possible five years and I couldn't have imagined it. But I would have regretted it for the rest of my life if I hadn't done it.

Congrats
Very true - age is irrelevant to success, too. I graduated uni at 27 back in '08 with a 2:1 and am now at a MA, something I've wanted to do for ages.
Congrats mate, this is just the type of post I wanted to read
