Non-traditional adult students at West Los Angeles Community College (WLACC) who already had bachelor's or higher degrees were surveyed to ascertain why they had returned to college, why particularly to the community college, and what they expected to get from it. Questionnaires were mailed to 120 students who had completed the fall 1977 semester; 62 were returned. Findings indicated that those surveyed held 64 bachelor's degrees (two persons had two each) representing 34 colleges and universities and 31 different majors. Sixteen persons held master's and six held doctoral degrees. Only 17 respondents had attended community colleges prior to their enrollment at WLACC. Enrollment figures for fall 1977 and spring 1978 classes showed that individuals contacted were primarily interested in business related subjects (45 in fall, 40 in spring) and the humanities (17 in fall, 11 in spring). Among the most often cited reasons for attending WLACC were proximity to home (58), no tuition (43), and learning enjoyment (53). Information was also solicited on respondent familiarity with the use of various college programs and services, suggestions for future course and program planning, interests, and problems encountered in attending the college. Recommendations on how the college can make use of the survey responses are made. (TR)
