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.
You can always make an appointment to see a VSAC counselor to discuss your concerns (call 1-800-642-3177 and ask for Outreach), but you might like to do some more reading first:
