Never Too Late
The Adult Student's Guide to College
This book offers practical advice for adult students pursuing a college degree while also juggling work, raising a family, and managing other responsibilities. Infused with charts and checklists, as well as personal stories from adult students, it engagingly addresses questions like: What should I study? How can I afford college? Which college should I attend? What campus resources are available to me? The "non-traditional" college student is the new normal, and this book is a comprehensive resource for ambitious adults seeking a degree.

Great incentive as I return to college for my Bachelors degree this fall. Informative on planning classes, financial, and time management. Useful resources to Help You Brush Up on Your Skills. I recommend to those going back to college.

A helpful step-by-step guide with useful worksheets and informational tidbits on how to set yourself up for success! Changed my daunting perspective of school from test-taking to an opportunity to immerse myself in a field allowing personal growth.

Found this book inspiring and very useful. Entering collage as an adult, after starting my career, was a little nerve racking. While reading this book, taking notes, I felt going back to school was just what I needed.

It's nice to have a resource available and that makes you feel that their is support out there to help you go to school when you are in your late 50's. I have a lot of life left in me and have always wanted to go to school but didn't think I could do it at my age. I want to start my 2nd career when I finish my 1st one and this book is giving me insight on how this can be done. Well written and helpful.

This is a fairly good book. It is well written, easy to read, and has an abundance of information. However, I did not find it as useful as I thought it would be. I would say this book is really geared toward an adult who is considering going to college. There is a bit of information on self assessment and choosing a career, however I found it to be somewhat insufficient. There is a lot of information on funding your endeavor, choosing a school, and specifics on many schools in the US. I am a adult student currently in school, so a lot of the information wasn't very applicable. If you are looking for a book full of help on time management, budgeting, balancing work/family/school, study tactics, etc., I would look elsewhere. Still, a great book for a specific audience.

This book is great when you want to go to college or back to college but not sure where to start. It has so much information about comparing schools and finding the right one for your new career path.

Very motivating for adults to go back to school. Gives a different perspective than the typical 18 year old going to college. Raises questions and concerns that adults have when considering college.

I am 33-years-old, work full time and recently started (1 class) college! I loved this book. It was encouraging in a lot of ways. They answered a lot of the questions that I had about how to balance the costs and time of having both a career and your education. I highly recommend this book for any adult who is thinking about taking college classes.

I’m so excited to go back to school after reading this book. Being a single mom with a son i was afraid I’d never be able to go back to school. But I have a sense of proud now

Despite the appealing title, this book lacks substance and the author clearly displays some disregard for the more traditional approaches to education. Perhaps I was expecting a more inspirational book, but in the end I realized that this title was produced with a particular strategy to capitalize on the current adult education market for the fundamental and dominant purpose of education these days: profit.

For older adults, this book was spectacular. It’s an easy read, filled with exactly what do. Takes the fear out of later in life learning. It was a joy to read!

This book has been written for the Non-Traditional student; it addresses how to choose an institution, reviewed accelerated credit options to consider and what institutions offer them, as well as military options. I appreciated the stories from the adult students. I recommend this if you are an adult who is considering going back to school.
