Twenty years after graduating I want to do an MA for 'fun'. I have no particular ambitions to do a PhD and it would only potentially help my career. But I am in dire need of doing something to use my brain. My career has stalled after having children and being made redundant and without outing myself it's in a field that has changed massively in recent years and I do not anticipate being able to work full time in it again.
I do freelance on a part time basis and anticipate that this would continue. My youngest child is about to start school so I would have more time although I appreciate I would have to be extremely organised.
The issue is that the MAs I am interested in are not based anywhere near home. We recently moved to a country town and the nearest unis that do what I want to do are about two hours away by public transport and about one and a half hours by car. The latter is a moot point as I currently can't drive (I am learning). I don't want to do distance learning as I crave time spent with other adults I can have interesting discussions with!
Am I mad to even consider this?

Is doing a part time MA two hours from home madness?
