How about the UNtraditional?

This could just be a personal tic, but after reading about traditional vs. non-traditional students in the university, I think that there should be another "traditional"-based word thrown in as well: the UNtraditional student. Who I mean is those that are traditional in the sense that they are students of the right age, attended college at the appropriate time, but just don't have the same experiences that the majority of students do, like teenage mothers, students who didn't go to school in the states, or even homeschooled students. None of these students had school experiences like everyone else, and even though this doesn't seem like such a big deal, it can still greatly affect their participation in and attitude about college. Then again, maybe I'm trying to be too specific and divide too much. If this is the case, then it looks like I should have to divide the international students from the traditional, and then the 'young mothers' from everyone else. This could get sticky, so I'm going to retract everything and chalk this blog up to the need to ramble.
