Home study

I am studying for a degree in mathematics and statistics with the open university. So far I have found the courses very interesting and I like the fact that I can study when I want. However I do miss having contact with other students and sometimes it is hard to be motivated enough to study.

oh I am a doctor and I graduated in a local University, then there was the training as a neurologist and now the PhD. very few time left for everything else but among my passions, I have English and so I have always been studying English on my own. Now I have just taken up individual English lessons with mothetongue teachers in order to prepare for my advanced exams in English..but one of my secret ideas is to take a degree in English literature and language. I had once an idea of starting a home study but I was not sure if this kind of university were good or not. Can you tell me something more about open universitY? I am very interested. and congratulations on your effort to keep on your study while growing up three children!!!
