GI Bill

I just finished registering for classes starting in Jan using my Post 911 GI Bill. I signed up for a full course load. Eek! I haven't been to "school" in 8 years and I am NERVOUS! I have never taken an online course before either. Thank goodness MH will be back from deployment shortly and can help me with wrangling DD for a few hours a day I just had to share, I'm excited!

Congratulations on your first step! I know so many people that have not taken advantage of the GI Bill, and I just want to shake them.  Between that and TA while I was AD, I am so grateful.  Good luck!

When I was in college, the older students, and especially the veteran students were very often the best, most disciplined students (shocker, lol). A lot of my classmates had the same fear you did, as did my H when he started using his TA last year, and they all performed fantastically, as I'm sure you will!

Good luck! I'm just about to finish my first semester of grad school using my GI Bill. last final exam in 90 minutes! I had been out of college for over 10 years when I finally decided it was stupid to pass up a free masters degree. It definitely took a few weeks to get back into student mode, but I'm loving it!

That's so great!  I'm sure you'll do wonderfully!  And like Stan said, i've also found that the "older" students were usually the best and most engaged students I saw in class.  Good luck and have fun!

When I first went back last year, I was terrified. I'm a few classes away from done with my AAS and I'm glad I went back.
