Hello,

Good for you Vialevi for going through with this; it takes courage to do something that gives you pause!

There are lots of mature (older) students at colleges, I would see if some sort of group exists and if not, start one. It’ll be a great opportunity to meet and make friends with people in the same boat/like minded individuals.

I’d also go to the learning center and figure out a study plan and see what sorts of programs they have for improving your studying, essay writing, coping skills and more.

If you do well academically there are lots of funds available and usually there are some funds allocated for students in need. As well, maybe you could get a part time job on campus — check with the career center.

Best of luck!!
