Spazz, I have never stopped going to school... part of being a teacher. There have always been all ages of students in my classes. Granted, these were grad. classes, but in the last 2 years, most of the people have been younger than me ( a lot). I think you'll find a lot of non-traditional students at U Mass Lowell. I know several people who have gone there, all adults. You shouldn't be nervous! You are smart and as long as you stay organized, you'll be fine. Most of the undergrads there are commuters and work. From what i see, the rest leave campus on the weekends to go home. So, I would say that even the younger students are juggling a lot of responsibilities.
