What tips & advice can you give an older (39) student who is going into a Masters of socialwork program?

I have 3 teenagers and a husband of 20 years. I am a good student with good study habits but always seem to have trouble making friends due to being the ';older student';.


I am also looking for some ';heads up'; on the challenges and structure of a typical program of this type.What tips %26amp; advice can you give an older (39) student who is going into a Masters of socialwork program?
You'd be amazed at the amount of ';older'; students out there. You are going into a Masters Program? Perhaps there are other older students who are just starting out who could use a friend and advice from someone else who's been there. Try online groups or even a professor who is about your age might know some other students in your situation.
