[littlemiss74]

after picking up the courage and thinking a positive yes im going to do it, no more hanging round thinking shall i shant i, i decided to apply to go to uni. The same week i fell out with my mum, so i need my own place to stay now as her house and i lost alot of hours in work so now on alot less money. Im also in debt as i now cant afford the monthly payments. Im 32 employed and been seperated now 2 years. Do you think i may still beable to go to uni? is there a way round this maybe or have i not a hope in hell?

Clearly you need to get some housing sorted out, plus get the debts sorted. Being unemployed, you should be able to get substantial help paying your course and accommodation fees, plus most universities have special hardship funds that you can apply to if you need help with stuff like books and equipment.

Don't let your financial situation stop you going to university - it could be your ticket to a much better life and a decent job. Even if you end up going bankrupt over your debts, unless you're going into the legal or financial profession, it shouldn't do you much harm. You have (by the sound of it) little in the way of assets for anyone to sieze, and it would be discharged by the time you graduate anyway. Neither should it stop you getting a student loan, if that's what you choose to do, and you won't have to pay that back until you're earning a specified minimum.

Get on and fill in those applications - and good luck!

Get on and do it. You're in a better position than you would be if you were financially secure-then you'd get shafted by fees.Having financial difficulties and no assets you'll probably get your education free.
