Over half of the people in my class were adult students, with families at home as well as jobs, sometimes multiple ones. It made no difference. In fact, it made them more competitive because they had no time to repeat classes. I don't mean to come off as offensive, but sometimes, just because you have two master's degrees and etc, you are not the expert on school. I have three associate's degrees, because I meandered around in college for a while. I've been in school long enough to have a master's degree...have that amount of credits... so I do know what I'm talking about as well. And just because an experience was a certain way for you, it isn't that way universally. Leave room in your mind for the possibility that there may be a different way of experiencing something.

Community college experiences can be much different than traditional university.
