Can you get a student loan for the Open Uni or Open College
I don't want to do the work I'm just liking the idea of tossing it off for three years at the governments expense like a young person
Do you think I could get a room at the Opal accomodation ?
The place to go is Lupton residences just behind the Headingley Arndale, thats where I lived in my first year. If you are a 'mature' student then just apply to be a warden, this means you will get subsidised rent in exchange for having the powers to fine students for being noisy or doing drugs on premises.
Alternatively if you fancied a more upmarket experience then Leeds Uni has a residence at Clarence Dock where its too expensive for most people in the real world to rent the private sector apartments, but you can live there at affordable prices as a student.
And yes if you wanted one you would be as eligible to apply for a room as any student.
