25 year old here. Can't seem to drag myself away from Manchester so i'll be studying TESOL with Japanese at MMU full-time, whilst working part time for Co-op Insurance
27 and going to Leicester in September to study Computer Science. I feel like I might be in no man's land between the 18 year olds and the full on mature students with kids, mortgages etc.
I just left the oil industry to go back for a masters in engineering geology. Definitely the right move but it'll be a big step down in salary and I'll go from four months paid vacation to under a month needs must though. Starting MSc Engineering Geolgoy at Portsmouth this year and I studied BSc (Hons) Physical Geograhphy and Geology at Plymouth 2009-2012.
I'm 34 and currently studying an access course with a view to applying for Social Work Degree Courses next year.
It is so refreshing and encouraging to know that there is such a wide age range of students. I'm now really excited about the prospect of doing a degree and I am really pleased that there are so many others out there pursuing their dreams and aspirations.
Hi I am 56 so I'm guessing I will be the oldest student at uni this year .lol I have just completed my foundation degree in mental health so. Will be topping up to a full degree this September I was also wondering if any one knows how I could rent out a spare room to a fellow student I live approx a 15 mind walk away from uni
Snoopytwo, there should be noticeboards at your university or perhaps digital versions where you could advertise or you could call into the accommodation office of your university and ask them to advertise your room.
I'm 29, but will be 30 when I start uni next year (currently re-doing my A-levels self teaching) Not sure on uni yet, as haven't applied of course. Hopefully Durham or York to study History.
hi I'm 33 and just finishing my first year at QMU I'm the oldest on my course everyone else is 18-19 but to be honest most of the time I don't feel the "old yin" but on occasions I feel like their mother haha!!
I've just turned 39 and about to start BA (Hons) history with the open uni in October :-D This is my 2nd attempt at uni, I tried a brick one when i was 32! But poor health got in the way >.< and having 3 kids. Well the health isn't better but the kids are older & doing the OU will allow me to go at my own pace :-D
