Are you a non-traditional student?

I'm a traditional student because I'm 2 years old and I'm studyng at the university. And I would like to finish it as soon as possible.

Congratulation to you for you can go to college .You don't care about that ,the age isn't the problem. For i think it's good for you. Many great people have ever done it.You flash.In some aier the age is you furture. You have the soscial experience, but most of the college have no! you will success if you never give up!

I started college just after my 17th birthday. I went for 2 years and then I had to move out of my parents house and couldn't afford to go anymore. I just started back again in 2005 - at the age of 25. I have been back 2 years now and I'm doing great - straight A's... and I definately appreciate my schooling, classes and teachers a lot more.

i feel i'd be fairly happy to be normal with the system. Doing up with my graduation at the most at the age of 21 or 22. After that i can think of working.. for sometime.. and then studying side by side.. (MBA after B.Tech)

I'd say that I'm non-traditional. I've been working on an associate's degree for over 4 years when it's supposed to be a 2 year degree. I still haven't gotten my degree yet, but I'm close. I just have 1 incomplete course that I need to finish over the summer and hopefully I'll get my degree after that. I guess I could never handle being a full time student which is why it's taking me so long to finish. I know that some people are full time students and they work as well. I know one girl specifically who goes to school, has a job, and also has a kid too! I'm just in awe of people who can do all that because I have never been able to. ~Kythe42 http://lemurianphoenix.blogspot.com

Traditional as going to college right after high school? Well, then I'm only a partially traditional student. I joined the military right after HS graduation and after boot, I immediately enrolled in night classes. I was the youngest student there at 18 years old. The next youngest was 25, while the oldest was 72. It was a great learning experience. A few years later, I had the opportunity to attend a few "normal" classes with the rest of the students, but never got much out of that experience as I did at the night classes. Now that I'm almost 40, I'm taking on-line Master's courses with the goal of earning a teaching certificate. Its never to late to learn something new.
