I think it kind of depends on the school. The place I got my first degree from was definitely an older-student-friendly college. It was urban, without a lot of student housing, and the average age was 28. It had next to no extracurricular activities, no sports teams, no Greek system, no student government. The point to being there was to be in class and get your degree, not to socialize and get drunk and go to parties. It was an ideal situation for me because I didn't go to a traditional high school, either. I went to an alternative school which allowed me to set my own pace (which was nice, as it let me graduate in 2 1/2 years.) School-as-social-life never worked for me. I've never gotten along with my peers. So if I do this, I really want to do it somewhere where I'm not going to get sneered at by some c-average sorority bitch who thinks she's all that because her daddy is paying her way through a marketing major. The last thing I need is to get into another status- and class-heavy environment.
