Abstract

The purpose of this quantitative research was to discover some of the common challenges that non-traditional undergraduate students go through when they return to learning institutions to increase their education. This study focused on some mechanisms that, when put in place, will ensure that students will feel a part of the academic institutions in which they are attending. Another purpose of this study was to comprehend the challenges that non-traditional students go through when trying to balance their family and academic life. The research questions were asked to the participants who had been randomly sampled, and they were to help understand the lifestyle of the non-traditional students. Through this, one should understand the challenges that these students face and the best mechanisms to be put in place to ensure that these challenges are minimized.
