I feel that there is a lot of information and help that is very difficult for adult students, I’ve expierenced this firsthand:

Normally HS students have advisors and counselers to help them, adult students usually have issues regarding outdated education (for example, when I was in HS the highest I could get was algebra/trig, and now I hear people do Calc in HS!)

Also, it would be good to discuss things like housing, grants, JCs and CCs, GED, ACT, job expierence and volunteer work for credit, vocational education and transferring, coping with school/job/family, finding the elusive federal aid and grants-yes, if you take each issue they could be covered perhaps in every forum, but it makes information hard to obtain and keep track of, since 99% of the site is geared to students fresh out of HS.

The resources for adults returning to school are out there, but not as comprehensive as this site could make it.

thoughts, opinions?
