In some ways, the adult returning to college will find the experience much easier than it would have been in his or her youth, to the extent that the "mature student" will wonder why everyone doesn't... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I am preparing to return to college and have found this book to be an invaluable tool. This book even includes tips on how to study and how to write a term paper! It also has some great advice on obtaining financial aid. Highly recommended.
Great Book !

As an older returning non-traditional student,for me, this book really answered the questions you don't even think to ask but should. It really helps overcome a lot of anxiety for returning students, especially on Math. It also gives you an excellent game plan to follow on studying,and life management for those married students or single parents returning to school. It's worth the small investment. It is well written by someone thats been there.

I read this book last summer before taking the plunge and returning to college after almost 30 years. It was invaluable and I definitely recommend it!
Some stuff I knew already, but some really great study info!

I picked this book up with the intension of just skimming it but I read every page! I also recommended this book to several of my friends that are going back to college. The author gives you some really interesting and effective strategies for studying(I've tried them - and got 104% on the next test I took), writing papers, scheduling your time. It was really helpful and I would recommend it to any college student not only older ones!
