Welcome to Never Too Late For College. This is your place to find answers to the questions you have about going back to school. The information here is geared toward adult learners. Your needs and concerns are different from those of traditional aged students. I know what it's like because I've been an adult student. I've also worked as an academic adviser at the community college level, where I helped many adults navigate their way through the ups and downs of college life.

We'll discuss everything here, from the college admissions process and financial aid to study tips especially for busy adults. We'll also take on issues like how to handle nagging self-doubts and ways to deal with the stress that often comes with raising a family, holding down a job, and managing a household - all while working towards your degree.

Please let me know what specific questions you have! I have the practical experience of working as an academic adviser, as well as the academic background of a Master's degree in College Student Personnel, where I studied topics specific to counseling in higher education. If I don't know the answer, I have a wide network of professionals and friends. I'll work to find the answer for you!

Again, welcome to Never Too Late For College. I can't wait to get to know you!
