Old student

I am a bit of an odd case. I am now a first year student of philosophy at Oxford Brookes University. I love doing philosophy. I am 46 years old though, turning 47 in a couple of weeks in April. I used to be a postie with Royal Mail before I became a student but not in Oxford. I still have two years of study (maybe more if I'll do my masters in Oxford). Unlike young students, I don't have some other home to go to during the summer so I have to work. I would very much prefer that I don't have to move around every few months, I would like to move into a place where I'll stay for the remainder of my studies, summers included too.
Any questions, feel free to ask.
