What I Learned in my Adult Living Course

According to the Best College Rankings from US News and World Report, 13 percent of the students live in college owned, operated or affiliated housing and 87 percent of students live off campus at James Madison University (“James Madison…”). Since so many students live off campus, my friends and I decided that we were not going to live in the dorms again next year so we

Finding a roommate may be a viable option if all other options hit the rock. Also, with a roommate, you may land a larger apartment. Ensure that the roommate you intend to share a house with has a good rental background. It may not sound a great idea to share the living room and kitchen, but it might just land you an apartment. The landlord may overlook bad rental history if at least one of the occupants has a good rental history and a good credit score.

We must take into account known strategies such as Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences as we design and deliver courses within our chosen fields. I for one am primarily a very kinesthetic learner, and learn

Some individuals may believe that buying a home is part of the American dream and that renting an apartment does not compare, yet satisfied renters would disagree. Even though owning a home provides a sense of security while allowing modifications without permission, renting is preferred more often over buying because the expense of updating, monthly payments combined with utilities, and paying insurance on a home comes with a high price tag. A homeowner does have several luxuries such as forming lasting friendships with their neighbors, making landscaping changes to their yard, painting and designing their home.

When renting a room, recognize that you're relying on strangers. Room rentals do often go smoothly, but you have no guarantees that your rent or utility payments go where you assume they

Basically, this article by Malcolm Knowles is a conglomerate of all aspects of adult learning. It outlines aspects of adult learning, theories of adult learning, and expands on them.
