Lesson 14 Discussion

As stated in your textbook: “Midlife adults in the United States often find themselves in college classrooms. In fact, the rate of enrollment for older Americans entering college, often part-time or in the evenings, is rising faster than traditionally aged students”.
Why do you believe the rate of enrollment for older individuals is rising faster than traditionally aged students? Are there any barriers that a middle-aged person might experience enrolling in college compared to doing it when they were a young adult? Despite your age, what challenges have you faced with your schooling thus far, and have you found any solutions to help make it less challenging?
