1. Slow
College was great. You had tons of unique, interesting people all in the same place and they were all confused about who they were or where they would end up.

The negative was there was so much insecurity there too. Plus everyone would be about 19 and I'd be 30 when I went back, so that wouldn't fit well either.

But yeah, if I go back I'll take it slow. I might end up moving to a college town someday (Madison, Boulder, etc)

3. I wouldn't rush, but I wouldn't draw it out, either. I have a life, and I absorb and apply
information much more readily now than I did when I was 18-22. I would imagine that your life experience since your initial university experience would give you something of an advantage in terms of grasping and applying concepts, so why draw it out?

6. Logical.
After first quarter ends, I'll see if I reeeeally want to add another class or not. The added complexities with the internet and when various discussions are due would ultimately interfere with work and life too...

I'd love to get it done sooner rather than later, but the economy will be closer to rebounding by the time I would want to take a risk and go full time with student loans...
