Is it normal to feel out of place as a non-traditional student?
Feeling out of place is perfectly normal. After all, you may find yourself in a room full of students old enough to be your children being taught by a professor ten years younger than you! Feel good that you’re feeling out of place in the classroom. Remember when you were in your early twenties and felt out of place all the time? You’re probably more comfortable with yourself most of the time than a lot of your classmates.
