April 07 Article: Commuter Students are stepping up demand for dorms (University of MA at Boston)

Wentworth Institute of Technology, located in Boston, MA, explains in the Dean's message.

"The non-traditional student population at Wentworth is a very important part of the campus culture. Non-traditional students are those over the age of 25, who are either going to college for the first time, or have gone back to school full-time to finish their degree. This diverse group of students often has families, full-time jobs, and other commitments and responsibilities that the traditional college age (18-24) student is not faced with. It is for these reasons that we pay particular attention to the needs and concerns of our non-trads, and try to provide them with as much support and as many resources as possible."
