Nah, you are never too old to be in college/University - even if you are over the age of 100.

I am about your age, meyag2. I am considering a return to college. I am thinking of giving the education field another shot.

Phillips · 06-10-2008, 07:35 PM

yes. much too old.

Bottesini · 06-10-2008, 07:53 PM

I believe you are never too old. I may do it at retirement age when seniors are allowed to go for free.

NorCal20 · 06-10-2008, 08:08 PM

doesnt matter anyway. I went to SJSU, had one class with senior citizen. i asked her, if its bother her by aging? She said, No, as long i can walk and run, learn and write. Im fine. I was like, wow...

Then end up, we went to Starbuck's and listening her wisdom.

IslandBreeze07 · 06-10-2008, 08:08 PM

Heck No! Go if you want to go!!!

Jiro · 06-10-2008, 08:09 PM

Last year, my senior evening class had tons of adults (around 40's). They were seeking to better their skill and to advance their knowledge. If you want to have a salary increase, go to college and learn more!

Silenthand · 06-10-2008, 08:11 PM

I am 55 years old, gone to Marshall U.

shel90 · 06-10-2008, 08:11 PM

Nope, never too old.

"Better late than never" would be a good motto for this thread.

Oceanblue7 · 06-10-2008, 08:13 PM

Nope, its never too late. I 've known older people go to college/university for a variety of reason to get a BA, MA , and PHD's. Life is always a learning experience and being educated is one of them.

Go for it! You are never too old!

NorCal20 · 06-10-2008, 08:15 PM

age is just numbers. anyone can go to college even young genius.

Back on topic, I taught in a state college for 13 years, and put in many night class semesters in two Indian colleges. Half of our small college enrollment was "non-traditional students" (25 or older). Many students were older than me, the oldest was a 72-year-old great-grandmother with a 4-year 3.83 GPA who made her "peers" (and sometimes her professors) seem like dunces.

The old joke goes: "Youth is wasted on the young." Sometimes that goes for college, too.
