The Open University

I'm currently with the OU, I know I could go to a "brick university" but chose the OU for personal circumstances.
Just wondering, does anyone else have any past experinces with the OU they would like to share? What do you think about the OU?
Thanks in advance x

I have found it has a solid reputation even in academic circles.
But I have had some problems with the tutors. As in, feeling let down and alone basically.
I am a now a second year student with the OU Last year I took S103, MU120 and MST121.The OU books are amazing and every tutor I have had has been lovely and really helpful.I would definitely recommend the OU.
What the Open University loses in direct contact (with both tutors and other students) it makes up for by the quality of the course materials and the thoroughness with which the presentation and the assessments have been thought through.
