Changing University?

This is not really a money saving question but some advice.

Im in my second year at university and im repeating two modules, so technically my third ( I have dyslexia and struggled a bit) but cant afford to carry on studying here because i own a house with my boyfriend else where, so paying two lots of rent etc,

someone has recommended the Open university. Has anyone studyied with them and is it a wise idea to transfer? would i get help with my fees?

I would appreciate anybodies help, if any one has been in this situation before etc etc

Thank You

M.

    Same here - have only heard positive comments about the Open University from people of all ages. They seem to be helpful in every aspect. Maybe you could carry on your degree part time and work part time? One of my friends who is nearing the end of his OU degree has worked full time for the duration of his degree.
