Yeah, I remember from my first go round how the mature students actually showed up to school to learn, while I still had a case of the old Do I really have to get up at 8:00. Naive young me, thought wow these old guys seem too smart to have be here, they're able to get decent grades. Sure they were smart enough to learn the material, but they had work ethic and urgency as motivators. Saw it first hand when my wife went back to school 5 years ago too. She was up and at school every day and working at it every day, and did really well.
