Should I Stay (at home) or Should I Go (to Uni)

Advantages: Study when you want, what you want, where you want, how you want etc
Disadvantages: Keeping the motivation can be tough, no physical lecturer there to engage you!

...Well, recently, i.e. last week I started a degree course at a "proper" University. Coventry University to be precise. This is not really all that valid to the review of the Open University but I thought it would be interesting to compare (and contrast) th ...

Life, love and the OU

Advantages: you can study in your own time, at home
Disadvantages: Fell isolated ( only at first)

I left school during my sixth year and had no intentions of going to Uni, at that point I hated education. I went straight into full time employment. After a few years had gone on my attidtudes changed and I realised that a degree would help me progress f ...

It's never too late...

Advantages: Flexibilty, excellent materials and value for money

Good experience but don't get lazy like I did!

Advantages: Wide ranges of courses, grants readily available, no entry requirements
Disadvantages: An "Invisible" tutor can let you get a bit slack

...As I have recently started on my third course with the Open University, I've decided it's time I shared my experiences. This review is not going to focus on what the OU offers, because they have a perfectly good website (www.open.ac.uk) which details all ...

Home distance learning at it's best!

Advantages: No qualifications needed for entry, excellent teaching and materials, cheaper than going to Uni
Disadvantages: Not the same as going to Uni, not the same student interraction, can seem expensive

...After leaving school halfway through Year 10 due to bullying, my mentor put me in for an Open University course which was being funded by the school. Normally you have to be 18 plus to undertake courses by the OU, however they had set up something with my ...
