Looking at mainly SUNY Purchase or Southampton-even considering USF (Florida). I will be 26 at time of transfer-any adult friendly campuses? I may have to live on campus, if I can't find a decent apartment for cheap. Also what schools have good BIO programs? How is Purchase-I want to focus in Marine Bio, and they have it! Stony Brook looks to big for me,LOL. Thankx for anyone's help!

How about Brown's RUE program? Washington University's University College? Northwestern's University College? Johns Hopkins SPS?
Tulane's University College? Columbia's School of General Studies? UPenn's SGS? Conneticut College's program? Tuft's REAL program? Harvard's Extension School?

Also...

Skidmore's University Without Walls? Bard's adult program? Sarah Lawrence's Continuing Ed program?

Union College is a good school to look at too.

Try SUNY Binghamton or SUNY Stony Brook - both have stronger bio programs than SUNY Purchase (although I'm not certain about marine biology).
If you're willing to look in Florida, Barry, Eckerd, Florida Institute of Technology, and the U of Miami all have marine bio. programs. The University of Rhode Island and the College of Chaleston (SC) do as well. With the possible exception of Eckerd, most of these schools have some older students on campus.

Look at Northeastern in Boston. NEU has its own Marine Science research facility on the Boston Harbor and its own research vessels. Students can also intern at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute and the New England Aquarium. www.northeastern.edu

If you're looking at marine biology, look at UC Santa Cruz or Cal State Monterey Bay. However, I don't know whether they are accepting out-of-state adult transfers at this time due to budget cuts.
