Using data from 4644 undergraduates, this study tested a causal model identifying effects of social integration, age, and time-limiting characteristics on adult student learning. Educationally related peer relationships were the strongest predictors of gains for all students. Time-limitations hindered learning for younger students, but not for students 30 and older.
