Many adults who make the move to higher education as a mature student are not immune to all the problems faced by their classmates who are just out of school or college. However, many adults will have additional responsibility which can add an extra layer challenge. Some of the top concerns for adult students include how you are going to finance your studies; balancing your home-life responsibilities with your academic demands; finding the time to get the work done when you have your hands fill with work and family commitments; hitting the ground running with technology that you may have not used before; and interacting with your classmates who may be quite a few years younger than you. The best thing to know is that taking on university studies as an adult is manageable, every university or college will have support services for you so that you can be successful in your studies.
