<p>Hi, </p>
<p>I am a returning adult that’s interested in biopychology, philosophy, and social pychology. I need some help locating a good school, preferably in the northeast. Any suggestions would be appreciated.</p>
<p>Thank you</p>
<p>If female, Smith. 10% of the student body are older - average age 36, range 24-69 - 85% on some kind of financial aid. Special admissions office dealing just with “Ada Comstock” scholars. They’ve been doing this for 29 years now, and know what they are doing.</p>

<p>not to sound mean or anything, but the correct spelling for “pychology” is psychology.</p>
<p>I’m sure that was just a typo…Why make a deal out of it?</p>
<p>Twice? …but ok, sorry</p>
<p>P-S-Y-C-H-O-L-O-G-Y…ok. Got it! Now instead of critiquing my poor spelling can you please offer some advise?</p>
<p>To Mini:
I should have been more clear. I’m male. Any places like smith that allows males?</p>
<p>How many credits do you have if any? I would start out at a community college if I were you, even if its only for a semester or so just to get back accustomed to life in academia. If you haven’t done math in a couple years in can be a shocker!</p>
<p>The best-known, by far, is the Harvard Extension Program:</p>
<p><a href=“http://www.extension.harvard.edu/undergrad/[/url]”>http://www.extension.harvard.edu/undergrad/</a></p>
<p>Yes, it is a REAL Harvard degree. You have to take three summer school courses with them in order to qualify, I think. They charge by the credit hour. I don’t know much more about it than that, but they are well-known. Officially, it is an evening program - classes begin at 4:30 p.m. and run til 10:30.</p>
<p>To joev: been there done that. I have about 24 credits. I hated my experience because it was maladaptive for me. I’m looking for a community of intellectuals and generally well-rounded individuals. Although I did refresh my mind in remedial math and such, so it was nota total waste. BTY, I’m 24.</p>
<p>Much thanks Mini, I’ll check it out. Any others?</p>
<p>Back 30 years ago, I took classes at what was then called the New School for Social Research in NYC (now it is called New School University). It may also have the type of community you are looking for.</p>
<p>Yes, indeed Mini. thanks</p>
<p>I knew about Smith College for a while and I liked the offerings a lot. Too bad (for me) it’s all female.</p>
<p>It’s not in the northeast, but the University of Minnesota Twin Cities has some very good offerings in your areas of interest.</p>
<p>Clark University would be worth a look, too.</p>
<p>Thanks, Clark University seems to fit me too</p>
<p>Anybody else have suggestions? I’m a single young adult that plans to live on campus and go to school full-time. I need a REAL college experience, not a high school commuter college (Read: communty college).</p>
<p>If you’re 24, you’re not old at all…Wouldn’t you rather go to graduate school and get an advanced degree?</p>

<p>I have not earned my bachelors yet.</p>
<p>In addition to Clark, check out Boston U, U of Rochester, Drew U (NJ), U of Pittsburgh, Syracuse.</p>
