University and being mum.

[aiiyl]

Hi!

I'm planning on starting full time university in February with the Open University, I'm a mum to a VERY busy 19 month old little girl who doesn't start Flying Start until April.

I was wondering how other mums handle university and being a mum? With it being the Open University I can go at my own pace (within reason) but I still worry about falling behind!

I also worry about the money aspect and funding. I understand that I can get grants and student finance but I'm unsure how much exactly I can get yet (still need to sort it out).

Thanks!

Hi op, this is a board for people working in universities. You’d probably get more responses if you go to the HE board.
