What *top* colleges welcome mature students?

<p>Wow. Thank you, all kind friends! I am afraid I could not be qualified for those scholarships because I am an international applicant.</p>

<p>And I am sorry that I am still not sure what is the definition of an adult/mature student, nor if I am a "adult student". Is it decided by the years spending after I have left school or my age? And, is the average age of freshman in most colleges 18y (or even younger)?</p>

<p>Thank you again!</p>
