The Best Students
According to most professors, mature students are ideal students because they are hard-working and become actively in all aspects of the learning process. The majority of mature students have a poor educational but they manage to do exceptionally well at tertiary level. Although many of them have a job and children to raise, they are always present at seminars and lectures and always hand essays on time. They like studying and writing essays and they enjoy the class discussions which take place. Consequently, they achieve excellent results. In fact, as they have experienced many of life's pleasures, they are content with their lives and this has a positive effect on their attitude, making them eager to learn.
On the other hand, despite their enthusiasm and commitment, mature students suffer from anxiety. The fact that they have made sacrifices to get into university puts extra pressure on them to succeed. Nevertheless, completing a degree gives mature students a sense of achievement, their confidence and improves their job prospects.
