There are some excellent support networks out there for 'mature' students. One thing I have done is to take only a class or two at the campus, and do the other few classes through distance education. Check out www.athabascau.ca for info on complete, fully accredited distance education university graduate and undergraduate programs. The cost of each course includes all text books, extra reading/tutorial material, and an individual tutor you can either contact through email or through a 1-800 number. All Canadian universities *must* have full accreditation, so no matter which one you choose, you are getting some of the best education credentials in the world.
Good luck,
Jay
