I changed my title today. I like it! Plus some other NT links...

Dear nontraditional students and fans,

I changed my blog name today; just a little. I added my name, Betsyanne, to it.

So now this blog is The Betsyanne Nontraditional Student Blog. The main reason I did this change is because there are SO many other nontrad blogs now, it's easy to mistake it.

Plus I sign my blog "Betsyanne" anyhow, so it really goes with it. That and adding "Betsyanne" to the title logo, it's official.

Talking about other blogs, these  current blogs are closest to my OLD name:

Older Non-Trad Student (by Zickbee)
and
Non-Traditional Students (by Linda S. Pogue)


Anyway, I think this is an improvement in this blog.

I hope you all had a great holiday weekend. For those new students out there, how is it going? Has school started yet?

All for now,

Former Nontraditional Student

Good luck for Fall Semester 2011, nontraditional students!

It's back to school time!

And this year things can be even better for nontraditional students. I will add - - in a lot of areas, and in a lot of different schools. There are more nontraditional students that are braving the dorms and other student housing, new options for buying or renting books, and more times and help than ever before for nontraditional students.

Many schools are adding new web pages just for nontraditional students now, I have noticed. These web pages can help with child care addresses, information, and just the nitty-gritty of where to go and what to do as a new nontraditional student.

I think that is great. I think the next step for many schools will be to help nontraditional students get more connected too, with special tours, offices, club areas, and advisors.

Good luck, nontraditional students, with the Fall Semester. May it lead to many "aha" moments!

Are you a nontraditional student? Do you notice greater help for nontraditional students at your school this year? Share your experiences, good or bad, in a comment. Thanks!
