Hey Fletch, I'm pretty much in the same boat. Did 3 years at UC Santa Cruz & dropped about 10 years ago. I do agree very much with what Mike said about one's attitude being different when you return to school later in life - you're there because you want to be there as opposed to doing it just because you're "supposed to" or whatever.

I've been doing my homework (pun intended) on returning for a while now and have found some interesting stuff. The nearest university is an hour + away on a good day, so that's really not an option. What I found is that there are some "real" universities that have jumped on the distance learning wagon in a big way.

Washington State seems to have the most offerings in terms of degrees and classes offered. Likewise, even some pretty prestigious schools like Duke, DePaul and St Mary's (in Moraga) offer degrees which are 90-100% offsite coursework.
