<p>A lil about me:</p>

<p>29 years old
married w/children
4.0 in high school graduated at 16
4 out of 400 class rank
Attended Unversity of Puerto Rico (regionally accredited US university)
3.75 collge gpa
Business major
completed 101 credits
Left school because I was married with 2 kids and it was getting too hard
10 years later kids are all in school and I have full tim to devote
I have been in the finance/real estate industry for 9 of the 10 yrs now </p>

<p>I dont want to go to one of those school just for adult learners. I want a school that is a good school so that my kids can go and be legacies. I also plan to pursue my masters immediately after completing theis bachelors.</p>

<p>So here are my questions:</p>

<p>What school will allow the most transfer credits?</p>

<p>What schools take old undergrad transfer students like me?</p>

<p>Any school's with family housing?</p>

<p>I would like to live in FL,NY,NJ,PA,VA,CT,RI,GA,LA,NC,MD.DC,CA,MA</p>

<p>I currently livein Indy and dont want to stay</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Ask this in the parents forum, you will probably get better responses there.</p>

<p>Perhaps Brown’s RUE program (Resumed Undergraduate Education) is one you should take a look at.</p>

<p>I think one of the problems you may run in to is the number of credits that you have accumulated. With 101 credits completed theoretically, you would be entering as a senior. many schools are reluctant to accept students who have completed more than 64-68 (credits - AA/AAS degree).</p>

<p>I’m in a similar situation - a non-traditional student who wants the real McCoy rather than a light version of a college’s regular academic program.</p>

<p>I don’t know of any university that actually has an upper age limit on who can enroll. That said, universities are going to vary on how much they support and accommodate non-traditional students.</p>

<p>The main problem with the number of credits you have is the residency requirement. No matter how many credits you have currently, most universities want you to earn between 30 and 60 semester hours at that university to earn a degree from them.</p>

<p>With a 3.75 GPA, you might be able to get into Columbia’s School of General Studies. They admit non-traditional students and then fully integrate them into the same classes taken by traditional students.</p>

<p>You might also be able to get into Penn’s College of Liberal and Professional Studies. This actually is, for the most part, a night program. However, you could also take daytime classes just like any traditional student.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
