The Just Thought I'd Share Thread

We could be requested to commute to Leeds every day, every week for the year. Which I just cannot afford. I'm hoping desperately that they'll run the course for this last year for the current years working through their Degree. Because if they don't...I'll lose out on my money because I'll need to drop out. I can't afford to go through the three years again whilst incurring more debt, living in a new city with no money, so I'd have to drop out and just get a job.

I need this degree if I have any hope of getting out of my city and making something of myself. I feel sick right now. I knew my past few days of luck were too good to last.

Woah, Bee, that's a pretty bad worst-case scenario although, I'd be 99% certain that if they're discontinuing the course that will mean they won't start anyone else on it, but those already doing it can finish it. Sorta how if you started a course this year, you pay the old tuition fee for the duration. If they make you go do it at another Uni, couldn't you do student accommodation for a year or so?
