I'm going to college to start a HE Access course on the 2nd September and I'm so excited! Not only am I looking forward to actually starting college but I'm looking forward to going shopping for all my stationary next week!

Just wish 2nd September would hurry up and get here! Smile

Well done on your course
Hope you enjoy it.
I have just finished a part time degree course and post grad one too.
It has got me a much better job with more money and more responsibility.
It was hard work but I learnt so much, not such about my subject but about me too.
What are you studying?

It's a legal and business pathway so I'll be studying Law, Business and Maths. Maths is actually a compulsory subject and it never was my strongest subject in school so not sure about that one. I'm looking forward to studying Law and Business though. Hopefully it will get me on to a Law degree next year.

I started my access course today (I'm in Scotland)

Hopefully going to be a primary school teacher.

I loved it.

Good luck.

Sounds amazing - I really wish I could go back to studying - I have plans to do so when my youngest gets her 15 funded hours, but she's only 9 months old right now...

Enjoy it!

I am very jealous!

I went back to college last September. It was great, I made friends and enjoyed my course.

I wishI was going to uni this year, but I am doing it via the OU as I'm pregnant (I have bad pregnancies, only 8 weeks but I am crippled by sickness and nausea). I loved going to college as I was t lonely for the first time in years - am dreading the fact that I have no reason to leave the house or talk to anyone again.

I am really worried that I am going to be the oldest on my course Blush

Makqueen · 22/08/2013 16:52

I worried about that too, but they lumped all the adults in one group - I was actually the second youngest!
