I did it! I passed my access course.

I am going to a Russell Group University! Bloody hell! BLOODY HELL! I am very pleased with myself! I'm good enough for one of the best University's in the country! A red brick one! Eeek!

Well done.

Well done! What are you going to study?

History! I was such a crap student at school! I even dropped history at Gcse!

Fantastic.

I would love to study History. Good luck. You must be so excited.

Well done!

Dd the same...I am as proud of you as I am of her!

Thanks everyone! I'm so excited! Scared, well apprehensive, but excited!

One of my course colleagues is going on to study the same course as me so at least I have a friendly face and that also means I won't be the oldest!

DD is worried about being one of the oldest,too

On all seriousness when I went on the open day I asked the student representatives about mature students and they said that really they didn't even notice people's ages. They were just other students which was reassuring.

That's good.

DD's married with 3 dcs' and is worried she will be seen as the "old bird"!

Good luck...you have really done so fantastically well

Thank you.

Congratulations :)

I am in the same position, had a hell of a year with terrible health but somehow managed to stay the course and passed it :)
Also off to do history, well Ancient and medieval, what Uni are you going to?

Well done Babydubs, it's so
Much more challenging to have done it with outside responsibilities and issues isn't it? I'm off to the University of Manchester to do History with integrated Masters. I still can't believe that I have done that, me who would never amount to much. (according to some of my old teachers ) I'll show them!

Many congratulations to all. :) You're going to have a wonderful time at your respective universities I'm sure.

Enjoy your courses, the time whizzes past so quickly!

It's two years since I gained my Access qualification and I'm now nervouslywaiting for my 2nd year university exam results!

Well done! It's a great feeling isn't it!

I did the same and I've just finished my second year at MMU. It has flown by so far.

Good luck

Congrats OP, just passed my Access course too! Off to Uni in September to study for a social work degree, can't wait!

Well done tang!

Brilliant news. I am a mature student at Manchester at the moment and loving it. Do you mind if I ask if you did your access course in Manchester too? DH would like to study too and is considering options. Trafford is our local college.

Hi Beehiving I'm in Tameside so did my access course at Ashton.

I live in Tameside too, and did my Access course at Tameside college. Did you have a lovely tutor called Joe?

Ah maybe you mean Ashton Sixth form?

MissMogwi I did! We're taking him out for a drink tomorrow night!

It's Tameside college not the sixth form.

Aw Joe is awesome. We all need a mini Joe for Uni to give us his inspirational speeches!

Best teacher I ever had.

Maybe I'll kidnap him and keep him in my garage to keep getting me through!

He's been brilliant, especially the week of the shite marks and two deaths. That was a bad week, but he got me through. We've bought him an amazon voucher from the class.

We did that too! So he can buy even more books bless him. Whenever I see a student from my access course we all say how great Joe was- such is his awesomeness.

Did you study Sparta and then Rome? I loved that.

Sounds like you've been through a lot this year, enjoy the break before September. Well done again!

Yes we did! Ds1 has a Greek workshop in Friday and had to dress up. Yes he is going as a spartan!

I loved Rome! Loved it!
