    re: mature age student

    Hi - if you can find a reasonably "plain English" physics or biomechanics text there should be a section or at least an appendix which will explain vectors to you. I had the same problem - try Cutnell's physics text if you've got access to it...

    re: mature age student

    Hang in there big fella. I was a mature age student at cumbo, and we had a few 40ish members of the team. Basically the girls will find you a refreshing break from the other young guys. As a few of them for direct help.I am sure they'll only be two eager to help. Actually its second year neuroanatomy and anatomy back to back you should be worrying about, biomechanics is the easy stuff?

    Hello there,

    I'm new to the board and just read your post which was made quite a while ago now! Can you tell me if you completed your degree? I am also a mature student (50) and have a place at Hertfordshire beginning in September but must admit that I'm pretty uncertain about it. I'd love the course content I'm sure but just worried about how the other students will take to me and also living in halls scares me a little! Would be interested to hear your comments. You can message me on [email protected] should you prefer.

    Best
    Jeannine

    Re: mature age student

    Hi Jeannie

    I qualified from Hertfordshire last year, as a mature student of 31 . My year comprosed of about 15% mature students, but this increased in the years below to around 30% so you'il be fine any questions please ask it feels like years since I qualified and its only a little over a year.

    Kind Regards
    Karen
