Any advice for a 28yo freshman?
Hey, I’m Theo, 28M, and this is my third attempt at college overall (fall 2016 at ESU as a theatre major, fall & spring 2024 at CCP as an art & design major) and I’m mostly looking for advice because of how much being in a classroom setting has changed in a decade.
Does anyone still hand-write their notes, or is it expected to have a laptop with you in class? I have no issues with needing a laptop for class, I just feel like i dont retain anything when typing my notes vs taking them by hand.
Any general “surviving college as a working adult” advice is also VERY welcome
I’m also posting this to see if there’s also anyone here thats 25+ and getting back into school because I’d like to meet more people my age, and I’d be lying if I said I’m not mildly self conscious about the fact that im going to be roughly a decade older than the majority of my peers 😅
Here’s my class schedule in case anyone that sees this is gonna be a classmate of mine:
