Higher education was never built for nontraditional students
Original: Higher education was never built for nontraditional students like me
A Washington Post opinion piece argues that American higher education was designed around traditional students who enroll straight from high school and study full-time, leaving older, working, and parenting students underserved. The author, describing their own experience as a nontraditional student, contends that scheduling, costs, and support structures still fail those who come to college later in life, and calls for institutions to rethink how they serve them.
Why now: Growing numbers of adult and nontraditional learners are enrolling in college, sparking debate about whether institutions are designed for them.
