thinking about going back to school?
Many thoughts run through your mind when you're considering going back to school:
- I'm too old to sit in a classroom again.
- I won't be able to learn like younger students.
- I never went on to college for a reason, and that reason is still there.
- I can't afford to go back to school.
You're not alone! Many adult students face similar challenges every year, and they meet and overcome them.
Make an appointment with a VSAC counselor to discuss your concerns (call 1-800-642-3177 and ask for Outreach).
