Abstract	Responding to personal experiences as a full-time mature woman student at the University of Toronto, the author engaged in a preliminary probe to determine the needs and problems of older full-time undergraduates (especially women), to determine the response of university administrators, and to compare the findings with other university campuses. Following an introductory section, Part 2 reflects the author's personal experiences as a full-time undergraduate at the University of Toronto during 1969-72. Part 3 contains data comparisons from a questionnaire sent to the Dean of Women of 25 selected university campuses in Canada and the United States (80% response). The registrars of eight Canadian universities also were sent questionnaires in order to develop a statistical profile of mature full-time university students, undergraduates and graduates. Interviews with mature students and university staff provided additional information. Comments and recommendations in Part 4 pertain to developing a statistical profile of present and projected numbers of mature full-time students on campus, directly involving them in university planning, and taking steps to reduce the dehumanization of a large-scale bureaucratic university. Copies of the questionnaire and a 73-item bibliography are included in the appendixes. (EA)
