DT211/1- 2014/15

oB1

Hey!

I'll be going back to make my second attempt at DT211/1 - I am 22 now, so definitely not as young as a lot of others coming into first year! Hope I don't feel strange!.. I failed a few modules my first time around so I don't have to repeat the entire year but I have to repeat most of the modules in semester 2 so I'll be classed as full time.

Is 22 considered a little old to only be starting out in first year again? Haha

Anyone on here going into DT211/1 ? Good to get to know a few I guess..

Young to be starting out again - not even close - I was 33 and still had 15 years on the oldest in the class. As this is your second time around you should appreciate what is required a bit more and hopefully make second and subsequent years.

Thanks for the reassuring words -- guess I'm freaking out a little!! Kinda felt like I've been going in circles the last fee years and all that..

I just accepted an offer to this course and was wondering if it's an enjoyable course and does it have reasonable hours !? The hours concern me as I'll be commuting !?

Thanks ! Timetable looks a bit confusing to me at the moment but I'm sure I'll manage to figure it out, seems to be a late enough finish each day if I'm reading it right which I'm probably not haha !
