They attended collegefull-time, lived in a dormitory on campus, and expected many “extras” from their colleges, not just classes. But thingsbegan to change in the 1970s and are very different now. Today, these “traditional” students are less than one-quarter ofall college students. These days the nontraditional students are the majority; they are different from traditionalundergraduates in several ways. They are older. Many attend college part-time because they have families and jobs. Mostlive off campus, not in dorms. These nontraditional students don’t want the extras that colleges usually offer. They aren’tinterested in the sports, entertainment, religious groups, and museums that are part of most US colleges. They wantmainly good-quality classes, day or night, at a low cost. They also hope for easy parking, access to informationtechnology, and polite service. Both time and money are important to them.Psychological tests reflect different learning styles in this new student population, too. Each person has a certainlearning style, and about 60 percent of the new students these days prefer the sensing style. This means that they are verypractical. They prefer a practice-to-theory method of learning, which is experience first and ideas after that. They oftenhave difficulty with reading and writing and are unsure of themselves. Most of these students are attending collegebecause they want to have a good job and make a lot of money.
