Distance Learning - can it work?

[Chicinwellies]

Am looking at a BA Hons in Interior Design through distance learning and am thinking that this just can't work. Ive never studied outside of the 'classroom' and wondered if anyone has had success with a degree through Open University etc. Thanks

i am currently studying a degree with the open university, i have two more courses to do which will take me up to October next year and then i will be finished. at times i have found it hard jugglinga job, child and house but if you are good at organising your time etc then it can be done. i had a break last year of five months, courses usually start in february and october, i did one last feb but then didnt do one in october, started one in feb this year. half the time i cannot be bothered and need a kick up the backside which usually comes when i think about the money it is costing me to do it!
i usually work Monday to Friday days and spend two or three nights studying and then all day Friday so that i can have the weekend free to do what i want with my family. its hard and coming up to an exam the house work etc tends to get shoved to the side about
