hey there!


So, I am 20 years old and I have two children, aged 5 and 1.
I'm starting my course in Criminology in September at Winchester.

I was just interested in getting to know any other students who have children?

Im not a student with a student but seriously well done for going to uni and getting a degree rather than doing nothing the rest of your life. Hope you do well

I am a mummy to a 5 month baby boy. I'm 23 and in my final year of a BA (hons) Ed Studies, I currently am on Mat leave but usually I also work more or less full time hours at a local primary school as an SSA.

All I can say is make sure you have plenty of support in place, not only childcare wise but for yourself. You need it more than ever when you're juggling children and studies.

Good luck ladies :]

Well done on almost completing your degree - go you! And yeah, a good support network is important to have - thats how I managed to finish GCSEs and A Levels!
But you just really need to be sure you like what you are going to do or you wont be motivated enough to do all the independant work with it! :-)

I agree you have to be so sure about what you want to do, especially when you have children because you're not just having to juggle your life but your children's as well.

I admit there have been times when I have just felt like giving up, my pregnancy was awful so I'm surprised I didn't call it a day then. I think because achieving is not just for you any more it's for your children too, then you stick at it?

You have done so well coping with two children at only 20, achieving your GCSEs and A Levels and now another course in September. I bet you're looking forward to it!! I don't think I could've done that you know, I don't think people realise what a big impact children can have on your emotions and lives in general.

I'm starting history at Kingston and have 3 children. Not 100% confident how it's all going to work yet but I'm sure it'll all fall into place. I just keep telling myself it'll all be fine
