Questions for Mature Students
Hi all. I am currently in a graduate course, and I am studying the experience of the mature-age student. I would really appreciate it if you would take a moment to answer any (or all) of my questions. Thanks!
1. What is your major?
2. What is your ultimate goal?
3. What is an unexpected challenge that has arisen as a result of your being a mature-age student?
4. What is your greatest weakness as a student?
5. What is your greatest strength as a student?
6. Do you feel you are at an advantage or a disadvantage to traditional-age students? Why?
7. What led you to make the decision to attend college?
8. Describe the reactions of your family and friends to your being a student. (i.e. Are they supportive? Do they disapprove?)
9. Describe your interactions with other students on campus. Are they positive or negative?
10. Describe your interactions with faculty and staff. Do you feel they treat you the same as they treat traditional-age students?
