It is not an issue whatsoever, unless you make it to be. I did my degree 20 years ago. It just needs more organisation, balancing family priorities etc. as you will not be as 'free' as the average 25 year old. Your past experience will give you more life skills and maturity than most.
yes, i felt like that. people tell you its hard but its only until you do it yourself that you really comprehend the herculean struggle of it. the best way (i think) is to have regular pep talks with your supervisors and think of the work as a set of small tasks - these will come together to build the shape of your overall argument. Once you have this, it's a question of refinement and constant recasting.
good luck!
There are lots of sites advertising rental properties in Coventry which are cheaper than what you have mentioned. A quick google search revealed the following:

If you are going to Warwick, it may be better for you to live in Coventry which is the nearest town, and only 20 minutes by bus. Many mature students live in Earlsdon which is en route to the University and has a good 'village' feel (public library/shops/park) and a good primary school. You could go to www.ofsted to read the latest school inspection report. Warwick is an enclosed campus and may not suit you if you have a family. Accomodation is easily available in Coventry as it serves 2 universities.
Good luck.
