distance learning

Hi all, I'm studying distance learning at huddersfield doing a masters in investigative psychology. I was wondering how to still make friends and experience some uni life as I am only in 3 weeks of the year. I enjoy travelling in my camper and like a spiritual life, not to be confused with religious.

It's obviously going to be a completely different experience than attending a university full- or even part-time. If you are provided with a learning platform, you may be able to interact with fellow distance learners on there. It also depends on what you mean by 'uni life'.

Is it? In my specific experience I don't think doing a PhD full time is all that different to distance learning myself. A taught master's might be different. An MRes could be somewhere in the middle.

From my experience it is very different, but I guess it depends on the person and the situation. I've always preferred to be in and around academic buildings and contexts when I study, but distance learners won't always have that option.
