Just curious people's thoughts on this as I feel like I almost have to describe myself as a traditional non-traditional student
Currently at the several schools I looked at (I couldn't find summary data) it appears the median age at matriculation is around 23-24 for most schools.
So how do YOU define non-trad?
Is is merely age, and if so what # as I've seen people as young as 24 call themselves non-trads?
Or maybe life experiences?
Or that you had a job/career first?
I know I fit (34yrs, post-graduate degree, 10+ year career, married w/8 kids); but what is the definition you use?
