    Well you're going to have to give us some more details than that if you want a constructive answer - why do you want to do it, what subject will you be doing, what do you plan on doing with your degree afterwards, do you have a particular uni in mind, any special circumstances that might affect you...?

    Hi, Going to uni as a mature student could be beneficial depending upon where you see it leading you?

    I know a few mature students at uni who really enjoy being there and doing the course that they do, though I also knew a woman who went to uni as a mature student and had to drop out due to not being abel to keep up with deadlines due to home life.

    It will be a big discussion to make, I suggest going to some open days and talking to tutors and students etc who do the course to get an idea of what you will be going into.

    Consider all your options, going to uni isn't for everyone - you might find you can do a job you're happy in without having to go to uni. If you are confident that uni is the right choice for you then also consider whether part time or full time would work best.
