Paul Robinson
CSU graduate
“For anyone considering studying by
distance education at CSU, as the Nike ad
says, “Just Do It”! I’m 32 years old, have
two young children, and had never studied
in my life, so needless to say it was a little
daunting at first. But I found a course that
really interested me and enrolled. It was the
best choice I’ve ever made.
“The subjects are well structured and all the
information and guidance you need to get
through your course is provided. The staff at
CSU are friendly and understanding, and are
there to answer any questions you have for
them (trust me, I’ve asked plenty).
“It takes some discipline to fit study around
your life, but the reward of knowing you are
doing something beneficial for yourself is all
the motivation you’ll need.”
