Non-Traditional Students

  • This chapter is for non-traditional students, that is people who are in the mid-twenties and older (some of you are in your 40’s and 50’s) who are returning to college or attending for the first time after several years in the work force. You face challenges which are, to say the least, a little different than your typical 18-year-old. In this video, you’ll hear from people just like you.
