College Life and Health

<p>Many students are back in college for the semester or will be going back soon. For some students, they are in their last semester, class 2020!</p> <p>I wanted to speak on various ways to improve health and success in college, not just on a physical level, but also beyond the physical.

Enrollment has also increased for students who are older, but it appears the increase is still much higher among younger groups. I also found information on the schools with the highest percentage of enrolled undergraduate students ages 25 and older. This can be helpful for those seeking to begin or return to college later in life. I placed both links below:</li> </ul> <p><a href="https://nces.ed.gov/programs/coe/pdf/Indicator_CEA/COE_CEA_2013_01.pdf">https://nces.ed.gov/programs/coe/pdf/Indicator_CEA/COE_CEA_2013_01.pdf</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/rankings/most-over-25">https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/rankings/most-over-25</a></p> <ul> <li>I also realized I did not mention PhD programs, continuing education, professional certificates and more.
