    hi
    I am an RN also, and looking to undertake the degree, torn between registering with York Uni or OU.
    How much is fees with OU, do you get to meet other people on the course?
    What are the study materials like please?



    Hi, someone else has answered you more than I could further down,just wanted to say hi! I have recieved all the stuff re funding help now, but as I am in the middle of renewing my passport and can't find my birth certificate I have had to order a new one, and pray it gets here before the deadline! I 'phoned up on friday and talked things through with a careers advisor at OU-he was really very good, made me really think I am doing the right thing and that I will cope lol! He was as good as his word-promised me extra info, which arrived the next day (saturday.) Just praying I get this now as I am firing on all cylinders!
    Tomorrow is always fresh, with no mistakes in it!

    I did DB123 and I absolutely loved it, it breaks up money in th everyday life, looking at credt cards, banking, budgeting borrowing, - the money side of it is on a personal level (not u personally) but as an individual. Theres 1 text book, and a dvd that you work through, its an average of 8 hours a wee study,

    Computer grant, if you get the student grant and your course paid for your automatically entitled to the computer grant, the down fall is - you have to buy it first - send the rceipt in and they refund u, they work on the basis of you use your student grant, get within 2 weeks of the course, then - also they did pay for the 1st year of internet rental, - based on you having a seperate interent - ie I have phone line BT, internet AOL.

    Good luck with the course, the OU will really bend over backwards to help you in any way. They take into account that your not a 18yr going into uni, that you may be 20 or 60, and that you have a life, a family, a job.

    Well I hope to soon join you all on this thread. I left university half way through my English degree 10 years ago and I always wanted to complete it. So I'm looking at B39 English Language & Literature. Now if only I can find the information I need for credit transfer from previous university, I think I lost all documents when I moved. :(

    You can contact your previous uni for the information, there's a form on the OU's transfer pages that you can send them. :)
