A site which helps provides a myriad of online resources and advice for students of all walks. What I really liked is that the site shows a list of jobs for Liberal arts Majors, something that can be a little hard to find sometimes, the cool thing is that it lists these jobs by degree.

Searching for the right college for you can often be challenging, this site has a great tool, a quiz you can take to link you to college matches that would work for you.

This blog hosted by Betsyanne has excellent resources and advice for non-traditional students who are looking for information which applies to students who have decided not to take the traditional route through college.

I particularly like her last post about how the ‘No Child Left Behind’ program applies to adults, and specifically adults with special needs. She shows how the ‘No Child Left Behind’ program provides services and benefits for these students.

Thanks Betsy. :) http://non-traditional-students.blogspot.com/2010/02/no-student-left-behind-information-for.html

This blog is a great way to see how someone else is making it all work, and on top of it all she’s preparing for a move. Wow! Way to Go Student Mum! Persistency is key to graduation.
