From a real student in the REAL (Resumed Education for Adult Learners) program

I decided to go back to school and get a degree at the age of 29 (current age undisclosed, but you can do the math.) I am a Geological Sciences major, with a graduation date of Spring 2018. Technically I am a junior, even though this is my second semester at Tufts.  My goal with this blog is to provide insight into the REAL-life here at Tufts, and convey some of what it means for me to be a student here. Also, it’s very hard to avoid puns with an acronym like ‘REAL,’ so bear with me.
