I searched the internet today for new links - new websites - and some old ones too.
I found these links to share below. They are perfect for nontraditional students to check out, and get ideas and answers from.
#1. The FinAid.org site has an Older and Nontraditional Students Page. This one I know I will come back to. I would love to win a lot of financial aid and go back to school. Here is the link:
Some thoughts on law school for nontraditional students.
#2. Just for You - three stories about nontraditional students from Grand Valley State University in Allendale, MI. Find out what these students did to find help and what they think about going back to school. Here is that link:
Just for You (three stories written by nontraditional students)
#3. How Nontraditional Students are Changing Education - this article by Jennifer Williamson explains that they are driving big changes in online programs, are succeeding in getting flexibility and accommodation from schools, and more. Here is that link:
How Nontraditional Students are Changing Education
#4. And here is another great resource for nontraditional students from Deb Peterson at the About.com Continuing Education site. It is called Thinking About Going Back to School as a Non-Traditional Student? and contains sections to help people decide, like Decide - Should You Go Back to School? and Balance Your Life. Just go here: Thinking about Going Back to School as a Non-Traditional Student? (the Nontraditional Student Path)
I hope you enjoy these links, and be sure to list your own in your comments below. Thanks!
