Any forums for non-distance education?

Anyone aware of any GOOD forums concerning non-distance education, in particular for adults attempting college for the first time? Thanks.

 

Well, I personally think this is the best forum for both distance and non-traditional education available. I personally completed my Associate's & Bachelor's degrees through very non-traditional (not distance) means (life experience, CLEP/DANTES exams, etc.), and my Master's, while still 100% residential, was done totally off-campus. I did all three degrees while in my late 20's, early 30's (I'm 35 now), and I hope to complete my Ph.D. by age 45.

This forum is very supportive and helpful. Because you're not interested in a "true" distance program doesn't matter. Post whatever questions you might have, and I'm certain that you'll get much useful advice.

One good one is back2college.com.

It doesn't appear to be a matter of "true" distance programs. It appears that he is only interested in a traditional, on-campus program (which is fine).
