Mature students

<p>Hi all
just wondering what the college experience is like for mature students in US. I am in Ireland & doing first year end of term exams at the moment , at 42 years of age, I left school at 16. It is the toughest thing I have ever done, but also the most enjoyable.</p>

<p>I don’t think it’s ever easy for non-traditional students. I am involved in a group here at my school called Organization for Adult and Transfer Students to help people get through it. I am not a non-traditional student so I can’t relate, but I really admire you for going back to school! That’s just wonderful, good for you.</p>
