Has anyone undertaken an OU degree as a mature student?

And if so how did you find it?

Clearly the stress of having dc in years 11 & 13 isn’t enough for me as I’m very seriously thinking of embarking in an OU degree (Art History and Visual Culture).

I’ve looked at the cost and would get a P/T student loan. I work part time and am also the secretary of a busy sports club. I think time wise I will be fine (will do 60 credits a year).

I will be doing it for purely selfish reasons- something for me which I feel I will enjoy and find enriching.

I’ve not told anyone irl (other then my eldest who thought it was a good idea) as I’m worried people will think I’m silly to want to do this at my age (early 50’s).

So tell me honestly am I daft or could this be the best thing ever?

Hi there, @KittyMcKitty - we've now edited your thread title to include the words 'mature student' as you requested.

Hope that helps. Smile
