College Students and grads.....?

I think you'll be fine those classes mostly depend on teachers nad how much they want you to know, but the subjects themselves are mostly common sense, it will be hard but not too hard, it is definately possible.

I guess people tend to overestimate the amount of college education around them - perhaps not surprising, I would imagine that a lot of people that never finished school probably don't hang our much online.\nThe US Census Bureau reported that in 2003, 85 percent of adults age 25 and over had completed at least high school, an all-time high.\nIn the same year, 27 percent of adults age 25 and over had a college degree, another record.\nI doubt that these numbers have changed dramatically since 2003. \nAs far as my personal surroundings are concerned, I sive in the Silicon Valley, so I would hazard the guess that the percentage of people with college degrees here is a lot higher (considering the cost of living, you nearly need a white-collar income to live here).

Of course it is difficult & you will have to buckle down while all your Liberal arts friends party every weekend. But guess what, when it time for graduation, you will be the first to get a job and one that pays well while your friend with his "Greek Civilization" degree will be lucky to get a job teaching.\n\nBelieve me, I could not tell you how glad I am to push myself to finish my Engineering degree. Oh yea, I did get wasted partying a couple of times so its all not that bad ehhh.

Growing up! Supporting yourself, not always having mommy and daddy being there for you.  Experiencing things, and making your own decisions and dealing with the consequences was the best thing I learned from college......

Do you mean "teaches" you????  The student learns.  The teacher teaches!  Don't think you're quite ready for ANY college yet!

Friends that are already in college and friends that are preparing just like me. It was a big help to get all the confusion of the university out of the way. after you understand all of the financial aid and the college life it gets easier to understand everything. My guidance counselor didnt help at all.

Dude, best of luck to you but this question really doesn't make much sense to ask.  We don't know either of you as people so how do you expect us to make any accurate judgements on how likely it is that you have a future together?  I would take it SLOW and wait until you are not a student at the college anymore before pursuing anything though so that you protect both of your futures, yours as a student who wants to graduate there and hers as an employee.

Hate to break this to you partner...College is no realistic representation of what real life is like. When you have a job you are expected to get up each day and go work hard to produce results. If you want soothing hire a massuese(sp?)

LOL - no college caters to the older student, especially if they are trying to do part-time school and full-time work to pay for school.\n\nTech schools say they cater to the non-traditional student, but in my experience they don't.\n\nGood luck.

It will be diffuclt, but bonding with the professors might be easier then with the students.   Look around at differnet colleges, some will cater more to a older crowd.

It varies among people.  Some folks are ready to roll right out of high school; others have had enough of the academic life and want to see something of how the real world works before diving back into academia.  One is likely to find that the real world is rather cruel to people without college degrees, and that may help motivate one to head back to school.

I think graduation gifts are sometimes the hardest to shop for.  Do you get the grad a fun gift they will enjoy, or a practical gift they need and will use?  Though impersonal, gift cards are sometimes the best option so they can get what they want.  My friend's mom coordinated his gifts by registering at a store for things he would need for college life.  The cool part was that most of his gifts were wrapped in new bath towels or washcloths that he would need as he moved out on his own.  Another gift he got was like an assorted gift basket of different items, but put in a new laundry basket.  If your friend is planning on moving to a college dorm or out on his/her own after graduation, household items might be a good idea.  One gift I got when I graduated high school was personalize stationary with envelopes and stamps and a phone card so I could "keep in touch".  I don't know if a guy would go for that though...  Whatever you decide, make sure there is a lot of thought behind the gift.  You can even "dress up" a gift card by putting it in a CD you know he'll like.  Good luck!

I graduated college a few years ago and not one of my friends got job by using the job search engines. It is much easier to talk to everyone you know and let them know you are searching and ask them for help. People are always happy to go out of their way to help with this. At least the ones I have spoken too.

What kinds of statistics are you looking for?  Graduation rates? Tuition?  Number of students?

I didn't go to college until my mid 30's.  Haven't finished yet, as I was going very part-time for several semesters.  It is "weird" some days, being old enough to be their mom; but it's also fun!  Profs seem to appreciate the maturity and experiences we bring to the class.

in the engineering feild, age is a plus.  engineering requires common sense that can only be found with time.  Most young college grads in this feild are viewed as nearly worthless.
