New Directions for Returning Adults
New Directions
Thinking about returning to school? Has it been awhile since you were in the classroom? Prairie State College understands starting or returning to college as an adult can be very overwhelming. To help make that transition easier, the college formed the New Directions support group. This group is to help adults who are returning to, or just beginning, college and for whom it has been several years since high school.
