I take one campus class. I do see a lot of older people, like myself who are updating their skill set. It had crossed my mind, wondering, if it were not for the economic downturn if the student body would be different. Is this just something passing or is this the new norm for community colleges? Of course, most kids are in class and it is raining cats and dogs, so there isn't a whole lot of people around for me to really see the demographic and ages of the student body.
I looked at the remedial courses offered, there are not many. I suppose the larger the city the bigger the need for remedial courses. That, and there are off shoot centers here that provide those remedial courses. I bet.
