Adult learners have various reasons for wanting to attend university. For some, it means resuming studies they interrupted years ago to start a family or pursue a career. For others, it means doing something they've been thinking about, but never found time to fit into their schedules. Still others see university as a way of advancing their careers or enhancing their professional qualifications. Whatever your reasons for considering university, if you're a typical adult learner, you may be wondering whether you'll be able to fit in, do the work, and make the grade.
Many adult learners tend to question their ability to succeed.
In most cases, their fears are unfounded. Adult learners bring a lifetime of experience to their studies. Generally, they're highly motivated. They know how to organize their time. Often they have a whole range of skills that make them natural leaders.
