TSR Mature Students' Society!!!

Scroll to see replies

Hi all........ how could I resist joining the TSR mature students society? (in fact, I didn't try to resist!)

Just for the record, I am a mature student, with a wife and two children (aged 15 and 13). I am studying maths - cos I like maths! - and have a conditional offer from Cambridge for next academic year. Unfortunately Cambridge maths students have to take extra exams - the normal A levels are not enough, so we have to take the dreaded STEP exams.......these are b****y difficult, so no guarantees at all of getting the required grades!

As insurance I have some unconditional offers from London universities, but it would be a real hassle to have to commute down there, so I am keeping my fingers crossed for the STEP papers.

Enough about me ...... no doubt we'll all be posting regularly on here.....

Mike

Howdy - another applicant to join TSR Mature Students Society :wink:

Got an unconditional offer to go to Reading in October and study Meteorology (with a Science foundation year). I'm really excited about the studying but a bit nervous about fitting in! The course sounds wicked though, so I shall overcome the nerves :cool:

October just seems too far away now!!

Are there lots of current students here? Or more soon-to-be students?

Nice to meet you all anyway :biggrin:

I've only ever heard that term on American tv shows. I've got loads of fag hags, some of which aren't talking to me lately 'cos i've been neglecting them due to loads of coursework. Oh well, can't please everyone aye. How are you today?

Well done

You'll love it when you get there, and make loads of new friends i'm sure. I'm currently on an Access to science course, which is a pain in the arse, if i am honest lol I'll be so glad to finish. I'm off to Lincoln in September, to study medical science :smile:

Can't wait. Welcome to the society :wink:

good afternoon all - how are you all today?

I've just spent the past 3 hours doing Polish homework today. Bleugh. It's only an elective subject and honestly it takes up more time than my actual degree subject does. Pfft. Remind me not to take another language elective again.

My lil' one is much better today, so that's good.

How are all your days going?

Awww, that's good to hear. Give her some ice cream to cheer her up :p:

As for languages, i love languages they are great. I hope i get a chance to study a language alongside my degree.

I'm good. Getting ready to go to class, i really can't be bothered today. It's one of those days; you know, where you can't be bothered to do anything lol

Yeah, I'm doing better now that I've finished work for today. Writing this in the library at the local college before going into my evening class (numeracy, since you ask. 'Cos me sums is a bit rusty. Oh, you didn't ask.). Starting to panic now 'cos I've got my interview at Coventry on Saturday and that's the one I really want. I'm congenitally, clinically alergic to interviews and I'm not looking forward to it. Still, it'll be a day spent away from Swindon so it's not all bad. :smile:

You'll do fine! :biggrin:

If you want it bad enough, you'll get in. I found most of my interviews quite simple and basic. Not what i was expecting at all, it's more a formal chat and they ask your interests etc... Totally chilled out.

Good Luck Though, even though i know you'll do fine! :wink:

Of course, I'm a mature student, busy studying Human and Social Biology, Sociology, Chemistry and Psychology, also half way through a Dip in Sports Massage Therapy......

I'm tired, very tired, had 6 hours of Organic Chemistry this week all ready, another 6 to go, on top of all my other stuff...:-(

But on the bright side:

St Georges - Conditional
Physiotherapy 07

I'm not interviewing anywhere else as this is where I want to be...

Yiiippppeeeeee

Thanx
