The Returning Students - A survey conducted by Katharine H L/Speaking 4C Instructor Davis

When I first arrived at PSU from Japan, I was very surprised… The students are so much more diverse. In Japan, colleges have only young students. I learned that many people were “Returning Students.” In Japan, once people pass the age for college, they can’t go back to school. In Japan, there is no encouragement.  e.g. no company pays employees’ tuition  e.g. no loan support system...  e.g. no recommendation of society Here in US, the society seems to encourage people to go back to school for several reasons.

Purpose of the Survey  I want to understand … Who goes back to school What they study in school Why they return to school How they go back to school
