I was fortunate enough to be in a situation where I could pursue it full time. I started part time, really liked it, and decided to complete it full time.

  Awesome, did you have health insurance/coverage? When I think of going back to school as a slightly older person, this is one of the only things that scares me.

    If you are in MA, students enrolled in 12 credits or more (3 classes) per semester are required to have health insurance. https://www.extension.harvard.edu/resources-policies/completing-your-degree/health-insurance https://www.extension.harvard.edu/resources-policies/complet...

      feel free to ignore me: does this mean a plan was available to you, or you couldn’t enroll without your own plan? Going to assume the former, in which case, awesome!

        if you follow the above link, you'll see that you could join the Harvard health plan, even as a family. If you had your own, your could opt out. You can't be a 3/4 or above time student without health care coverage in MA. It's the law.
