Open University Student here! As a single parent my income is low and therefore I don't pay fees and this year I've got a course grant of £250 too which is great as it helps out with travel costs to tutorials, babysitters and books. It will take me six years to complete my degree (half-way through already) and I don't regret one minute of it. I always remind myself that even if I don't get a good result, that I have learned so much from just participating.
As on OU student you do have to be disciplined, but I am sure that is no different from any other course you would undertake. Allow reasonable time. I does sometimes I miss TV programmes and social occasions if I have an assignement due, but you get over it!
I just regret not doing it years ago.
Good Luck.Do not allow the risk of failure to stop you trying!0
