Fair warning: don't go, unless you're willing to risk going insane from the pressure. (if you're studying a science).

Man, all the people on semesters are graduating! Since I'm on quarters, I don't graduate until June--commencement is the 15th, but I probably won't get my actual diploma until July, because I am NOT sitting in the hot sun for three hours to get a piece of paper and watch 3000 other people get theirs. Oregon State University has commencement in the football stadium, and the graduates don't get any cover.

I did a year at the University of Detroit, but health issues caused me to drop enough credits to lose my scholarship. I studied economics and accounting, carried a 3.75 (of 4) GPA, and HATED it!
Transferred to Macomb County Community College. Studied music theory, creative writing, acting... loved it, but couldn't pursue those seriously at the time.

I've got a year left on a BSME at the University of Minnesota. Took my last pair of finals before break today.

Working on the 8 year bachelor's degree, which is how you do it if you need to make up for all the math you didn't learn in the Minneapolis public schools.

Still plenty of time. I didn't go back till I was 30.

I went to a local community college for my Associates in Nursing. It met my criteria...fast, local and cheap.
I've been on the fence lately about getting a BA or masters. Not sure if I want to get into management.

I plan on going back for at least a master's degree, but I'm still not sure what/where/when. I'm working for a consulting firm at the moment and might make it into a career, but I've also been thinking about Vet School. Not sure I want to commit to at least FOUR more years, though!

A word to the wise about distance learning... I'm an ex-pat teaching English in Asia. I started the Applied Linguistics Masters at University of Birmingham (UK) last year. It is fully accredited and accepted as a legitimate degree by many Ministries of Education throughout the world, even though it is by distance.

Lately, there have been many postings to the ex-pat community websites about pushback from all Uni's, especially private ones, that they aren't hiring anyone with a distance degree. With this in mind I am switching to Temple University Japan for a M.S. Ed.. It is a brick and mortar campus, and is accepted without question everywhere.

If you're thinking about a distance degree, find out how much of an asset it will be before you put your hard-earned money on the line!
