Mature Students - Stress and Challenges of Returning to School
By Susan Meindl


Returning to study as an adult, be it after a hiatus of a few years or several decades, is a wonderful opportunity for personal growth and development. Sometimes, however, it poses particular personal and interpersonal challenges which lead to stress and may interfere with the achievement of academic or skill acquisition goals. This article provides an overview of some of the challenges and issues that a mature student might encounter and which might be worth addressing in personal therapy. Speaking about these matters with a thoughtful friend, a therapist or a counsellor may help to normalize the experience and may permit you to find realistic and practical ways to solve the problems as they arise.

Subject: Quotes for a Research Paper

I greatly enjoyed this article, it has been very helpful in the process of research for my paper title: Stresses of the Adult Transitional College Student. I have referred to several of the topics in this article in my paper. At the current time I am the stressed out adult college student!

I really need more information for my citations page. Could you please send me the date this article was written and/or published?

Thank you,

Teresa Spinks
