Many students have trouble fitting their studies into an already hectic schedule. Others, such as those who live in rural or remote areas, may not be able to study the course of their choosing due to the institution's location. Luckily, getting a qualification doesn't have to mean changing your lifestyle or where you live. If you can't get to the classroom every day, you still have plenty of options to complete your course through online and distance education.

If you need help during your studies, it helps to know that institutions offer a wide range of support services to assist you with any problems you may face, including those of an academic or personal nature. You'll find that student advisers are very understanding of the issues you face as a student (after all, that is their job) and can really provide help when you need it.
