Journal of College Student Development, v35 n3 p183-89 May 1994
Used qualitative research design to apply role exit theory to adult women students (n=221) undergoing life transition. Findings suggest that role of student for these women is transitional one. Student role appeared to be bridge to new role and women used it to complete role exit process or to bring closure and deal with respective life transitions. (Author/NB)
