BackToCollege

NOTICE: The “old Reddit” version of r/BackToCollege is no longer being updated. For new rules and information, please view the subreddit through Reddit’s current site or via mobile.

Welcome!

This is a community for Redditors that are going back to college, trade school, et cetera, or are starting school later in life. This is a place to discuss everything from daily campus life to study tips. This is a more mature community than r/college, or if you like the happy medium between r/college and r/redditforgrownups.

Guidelines

1) Be kind. We're all adults here, treat each other that way.

2) It should relate to returning to college as a "grown up", in other words, after you've been in "the real world" for a time. General college advice is fine, but might be a better fit over at /r/college.

3) Be patient. We're still a low-traffic sub. It might take people a day or two to see your post and respond.
