So I decided recently that university is the only option in life that really appeals to me right now, and that Access to HE is the best route for me to get there. I searched for AtoHE courses and found nothing in my local area, until by chance I stumbled upon a humanities course at a college only a short bus ride away. Unfortunately, the course has already started for the year. I went there today to ask whether I could go on a waiting list, but the guy said there was little chance, 'unless 10 people on the course died of food poisoning or something'.
But to be honest, I've heard from several people that many drop out of access courses. Should I go back tomorrow and insist on going on the waiting list, or will I simply have to wait for admissions for next year's opening? I'd rather not have to work my ****** dead-end job for another year.
EDIT: Sorry about the typo in the title - I do know how to spell access!
