Saying hi and checking in - for my Nontraditional Student readers. Are you going back to school? From Betsyanne.

 Saying hi. 

How are you doing? Are you staying safe?

And are you thinking of going back to school? I did it. And I am glad I did.

I think about going back again. Not sure what classes I would take. But there are more online choices. I would not mind going back in person, also.

And I'm still glad I did the Nontraditional Student website here: http://www.nontradstudents.com/. I am re-doing the site soon, hopefully. Scroll down on the Home Page and there are some handy links there. There are also two Scholarships page to explore. Here is Page One: http://www.nontradstudents.com/scholarships.html.

If you have joined a Nontraditional group at school, leave a comment at the bottom of this blog post, and I will try to add the group to the website.

The Nontraditional Students site has a Facebook page also. It is here: https://www.facebook.com/nontradstudents/.

Back to the subject of going back to school, I hope one or both of us DOES decide to go back, at least part-time. I found it enjoyable. Fingers are crossed.

Bye for today! I hope to update this more often this year. I blame Covid. (haha)








Twitter Roundup for July - some fun links and sites from Twitter

Hello, Nontrads!

I hope you had a great weekend.  I am going to do another Twitter Roundup today for those readers who are not on Twitter.

As many readers know, Twitter can be a fun place to search for nontraditional student links and news. You just search for "nontrads" or "nontraditional students" or "scholarships" - - or whatever you want to learn about. You can put your country or state in the search box too.

Then you can click on the links and postings you find, add people, and generally have a lot of fun discovering new things.

Sometimes the postings don't really match, though - - for instance you might find a complaint or two about nontraditional students in class, or just an announcement about somebody registering for school.

These comments or postings might be extremely interesting to the poster, but not for somebody just looking for some tips or neat links to explore that might help them.

So... I will search and find good links from people I have "favorited" on the site or list links from the @scholarsgrants and #nontrads names I have on Twitter already.

Here they are, and I hope they are useful to you.
