    :confused:Have been lucky enough to be offered a place in college next year. Delighted with myself. Financial aspect is terrifying though as a job I thought I would have when I applied has fallen through. I am thinking of deferring for a year in order to get a place on a plc course with work experience which would be relevant to what I want to study. This would also mean I would qualify for BTEA and is one reason behind the idea. Would really take a lot of the financial pressure off as well as giving some practical experience.Really didn't expect to get in on first application as a mature student so finances not fully in place yet. I know it sounds quite scabby but would they allow me to defer so I can do a plc course that will allow me to be in a better place financially? Or will they tell me to get knotted

    The last thing the college wants is for you to start and then drop out after a few weeks. You could say that due to recent events you need to take the year to sort out your finances and so would like to defer. Its a sensible solution. As for the PLC, anything that makes you better prepared for college is again in the colleges best interest.

    Contact admissions about it. All they can say is no.
    Congrats on getting a place by the way.
    :)
