I'm thinking of starting a maths degree with Open University. Their courses seem quite expensive but I'm prepared to make the sacrifice if they're worth it. Does anyone have experience of OU - doesn't have to be in maths, but obviously experience in this or a related area would be appreciated? Alternative suggestions also welcome. I'm reluctant to apply to one of the "normal" universities, as I would feel a bit out of place, being quite a bit older than the typical student and I also like the flexibility that seems to be on offer with the OU.
