Mature student- St Pats

Magslyn

Hi Im a mature student starting the B.Ed in pats, just wondering if anyone else is starting as a mature student-would be good to get to know a few people! Also any advice on what subjects to pick for first year that aren't too difficult!

First of all, congrats on getting you place in college. Now I'm not on your course but I'd suggest forgetting about how easy/difficult certain things are perceived to be and just pick based on how interested you are in it. You will find any subject that you are interested in a lot easier than a subject you are not interested in regardless of how 'difficult' it is.
