PA28 student pilot reported failure to compensate for crosswind resulted in runway excursion and nose gear failure.
Synopsis
PA28 student pilot reported failure to compensate for crosswind resulted in runway excursion and nose gear failure.
Narrative
I was on a student solo training mission. The training involved pilotage to a nearby airstrip within a 10-statute mile distance with return to ZZZ; the airport of my departure. Taking off winds were 340 at 6kt and within my endorsed limitations. Arriving back to ZZZ I checked AWOS; and winds were coming from 210 at 6kt. I attempted a landing on runway XX. While coming in for XX I noticed the wind had changed and I had a strong crosswind. I chose to go around on runway XX and went back into the pattern to recheck the weather. The wind was now coming at 6 knots from 340 from what I remember; so I chose runway XY for approach. I was lined up on center line all the way on approach until I was in ground affect. While in ground affect a large gust pushed me left of centerline. On touchdown I attempted to correct for the crosswind with ailerons into the wind; but it proved to be outside of my skill level. I was pushed off the left side of runway XY and due to soft/muddy ground the front landing gear collapsed; and the prop hit the ground. I was able to shut down the aircraft and exit unharmed.
