Willow I am studying Psychology through a Bachelor of Arts at Monash and the only downside IMO is the statistics component! It is such a great course and if it's where your interests lie then go for it. I always doubted myself knowing that honors is very competitive to get into but then I realised if it's something you actually enjoy learning and reading about and are committed to and not something you just force yourself to rote learn and memorise then you will do well. First year Psych is pretty average as you're just doing the core units (including the maths/stats) but come second year you get to start choosing your units and specialising in what you want to learn about and it's really interesting! I can highly recommend studying through Monash. They are very helpful with any questions you have and we have online discussion boards/forums where you can contact staff and other students to get help/advice so even if you are doing it by distance ed there is so much help and feedback with no need to attend campus.

In reply to Mayaness, I too would have delayed study if I knew bub's would make be making a suprise early appearance! Not too sure what's going to happen now!

Anyway Willow, all the best and I hope you choose Psych! LOL I'm only a bit biased...
