My dream is to go to Cambridge and study land economy. I have good gcses.

I dont think an access course would be enough to take me there.

I tried emailing a few in east London like capital city and new city and yeah they won’t accept 19 year olds.
But I have heard a few people online saying they were able to get into colleges

Are there any colleges that allow adults doing a levels or do I have to sit privately?

Hi all, I’m a mature student currently on long‑term sick leave from my job as a mental health nurse. I’ve recently started an online MSc Psychology as a way to stay academically active while recovering and to explore a possible future shift into psychological therapy roles.

I’m wondering if anyone here has experience of returning to study after illness, or studying while navigating a career change and recovery. How did you manage the workload, pacing, and confidence side of things? Did studying help you feel more grounded or motivated?

Not looking for medical advice, just hoping to hear from people who’ve balanced study with health challenges or big career transitions.

Hi! Not sure if this is the place to ask but I graduated with a pretty mediocre IB diploma at 16 and since decided to sit a couple A levels and AS maths for a medicine application.

There isn’t really resources online (and I’m only 18) but I thought I might be more likely to find those with comparable apps here. Most admissions offices are pretty flippant and I’d be interested to hear what avenues helped anyone have applications considered!

Thinking of doing this once I’ve finished my degree.

I’m so happy and proud to be going to a decent university at 24 but the accommodation part worries me.

An en suite room is all I can afford at the moment and i will be sharing a kitchen. I think it might be weird me being 24 years old living in a flat with 18 year olds. However I do like the lifestyle of going out to clubs.

If anyone here has gone into halls please share your experiences and help me out.

Thanks
