    Confused about Housing for College Student..Please Help?!
    Hey everyone,

    I desperately need help or some answers. I'm currently 19 and going to college in september (pretty late i know, but hey-ho i have my reasons!) I'll be 20 in november, so i'm officially a 'mature student' no? Well i'm going to college in Nottingham and I live in Derby, and after months of trying to find information on financial/housing aid for mature students hoping to move to a different city, i had no luck but recently came across a website which said someone in my position is entitled to some sort of bursary for housing as i am a mature student who will have to be travelling in from a different city, but cannot for the life of me find this website anymore, i thought it was on the notts city council site, but i've trawled through and cannot find it.

    Does anyone have ANY information on this issue? Any websites you can refer me to, have you been or know someone that is/has been in the same position? Extra information is i'll be a part-time student, 3 days a week. Any sort of info or advice is appreciated!

    Is this a further education college or university, and what course level are you studying?

    Well, it's called an educational institute, but they offer university degree courses, BTEC course (which i''ve applied for) and part-time short courses, so.. i don't actually know for sure. Here's the link for the place; http://http://confetti.uk.com/
