The Open University in London

The Open University showed enormous empathy when I was struggling to function.

Unbeknownst to me I had exhausted my personal store of vitamin B12 and folic acid.

I was losing my ability to focus and often had to re-read previously read text more than once.

I feared narrowing of the main arteries in my brain, and began to despair.

I was fortunate.

Despite surviving a previous atypical stroke, my brain and body were simply short of 2 chemicals: vitamin B12 and folic acid.

A metabolic disorder.

I cast around for an explanation. I began to compare and contrast my current diet with my childhood diet.

My childhood diet was full of root vegetables, peas, beans and other nutrient dense goodies.

I have now returned to my childhood diet. I feel amazing.

My weight ballooned by 8st in 6 years!

I spent long hours in bed reserving my energy for critical activity only.

I changed the layout of my bedroom. This process took many months of careful financial planning.

I now have so much more than I did before. I am rich with an abundance of blessings.

I am so grateful to the Open University.

Had the student mentoring team not been paying attention, I might have struggled on, clueless, as to my short-term memory loss issues.

As it is, I know that there is someone watching over me. Therefore, I can proceed with confidence.

I have visited the Open University in Camden Town.
It is a lovely modern brick building to visit. lots going on near by, coffee shops, lots of restaurants, gifts shops and hotels. Also the Future learn Education. (both provide online distance learning education Courses, degrees and post degrees). In a busy day it can get a bit difficult to park your car.
There are buses or metro stations near by.

A heavy metal pub playing some great music. Ceiling is covered with posters of a great many people. Bar staff were okay.

I came here to sit an exam. The staff were very polite and helpful. The building was clean.

Student Recruitment is not fit for purpose and their internal IT never seems to update!

There is a wealth of excellent universities that practice high standards and pass rates of degree students compared to the OU. Choose wisely, your life depends on your choices. Ensure value for money and a high standard from a decent and achieving university. You owe yourself the best.

Great university , very supportive

Did my LLB Homs there, now trainee solicitor at 60 yrs age!
