You have now learned more about the OU, its students and its ethos. Did anything surprise you? Has it changed your view about The Open University at all?

"I was surprised by how many young people under 25 study with the OU. I used to think that OU students were retired people and older people who had missed an opportunity to go to university earlier in life"
