Does anybody here have any experience with open university? What’s it like? Do you actually get to meet others on your course?

Cheers, I’ve already looked though – was hoping for someone to give me a third party view on it… 😉
My old man did a fair few courses through them and did pretty well from it, he didn’t really meet many people through it as a lot of it was studying at home (nearly all of it) the only time he met other people was when they had to go and do their exams… I will catch up with him over a pint at the weekend and ask some questions if you want?
i’ve done a couple of courses. my missus is doing courses with them for the last 5 years
they provide excellent materials and you get tutorials every few weeks with other people on the same course and they encourage you to swap numbers and help each other through the course. the level of support from tutors is variable, but better than many people get at a full time university
and it’s cheap and you can work etc etc
i don’t understand why people go to normal universities except to get pissed and moan about debts
