Maybe it depends what course one is studying. For my course, I am paying much less than what one would pay if going to an actual university and i am not getting any financial aid from the university.

When studying with the open university, one does not have to pay for the whole year but one pays for each module. You do not have pay for another module until you have not registered for it. Therefore, i think it is more manageable to pay for.

Of course, I am aware of the change about to come. (worried)

You can also go part-time or study on modular basis at other universities. You are probably paying much less because you are paying per module, and your degree will take (much) longer to complete? Overall (currently) it probably add up to the same amount that any other uni charges. It is a UK university regulation.

Will you be affected by the change? However, if you were registered at a normal uni part time, you would not be affected by the changes as your start date was before Sep 2012. So people starting before that date carry on with the old regulations and fees and are not affected.
