I may be dating myself but, yours truly is going back to school. I know there are some savvy frens on here, so I wanted to see if I could get any heads-up tips that would make this process go more smoothly! Anything small or large would be appreciated; I barely know the first things about coding. Thanks for any input!

My recommendation would be to find a CS program that isn't going to make you go through the all-too-common humanities / diversity courses. Most, if not all, Bachelor's programs will make you do this. And colleges don't like admitting folks who are only interested in a class here or there.
Many are starting to add inclusivity crap into their formal coursework, too, which is a mess. STEM fields are not immune. Instead, maybe an accelerated course through an online program at a community or tech college? Those have a better chance of being genuinely useful. If you can learn on your own instead, that's the best way to do it imho.
