Hi everyone,
I have a place at university for Sept 2018. I will be classed as a mature student as I left college a few years ago and am looking to return to education after a few years working as university has always been at the back of my mind, I just didn’t know what I wanted to do when I first left college.
I’m hoping university will open up many opportunities for me and help me towards a good career and originally I was really looking forward to going, meeting new people and going back to study as I do want a degree at some point in my life.
However over the past few months I’ve started to have a few doubts. I’ve been out of education for a few years and am worried about getting back into the swing of things and how I’ll cope with the workload, I’m also worried that if I go to uni and decide it’s not for me about the cost and implications of that. I applied last year and deferred my place to give me a year to decide if uni’s the right thing for me and it’s worrying me that I’m still having a few doubts as it’s a lot of money to go.
It won’t be long before student loans, accommodation and everything else has to start getting sorted and this is what is making me think about it all more. Has anyone else felt like this?
