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—young, full-time, financially supported—and continues to disadvantage older learners, working parents, and others who study later in life. The author draws on personal experience to call for institutions to rethink scheduling, costs, and support structures so that nontraditional students are no longer treated as exceptions.
Why now: Growing public debate over college access, cost, and flexibility for adult and nontraditional learners.
