I wanted to bump a great thread that I found very helpful in making my decision to return to school in my early thirties. (so glad dess is gone btw)

I found an applied degree program at MRC that seamed very interesting and i attended an info session which made things sound even better.

Attending student orientation (yesterday) was quiet a relief. At 31 i'm far from the oldest person there and met several really cool mature students with the same fears/concerns as i have including:

-debt load
-finding adequate part-time employment
-does my brain still work?
-can i manage school and work?

Any tips and tricks would be greatly appreciated.

P.S The girls to guys ratio at MRC is 2:1
