Going to college later in life.

I started degree course at 33, and gotten my degree at 35. All my classmates are working adults, and it is much more interesting in class participation. We do not agree with everything the textbook says, because of the experience we gain from working life. In fact, I would say that starting late is a big advantage, because you have a few years of solid working experience, and this helps in the examination too. Instead of using textbook example, we quote from real life experience, and add in a bit of theory to support our views.

dont worry its not u have more experience and that will b helpful just pay attentiun to studies n dont listen to ppl who discourage u happy lottin and have a nice day!

I don't think it's a big disadvantage starting out late for as long as you"re determined to pursue your goal in life--that is to be successful. Just be optimistic and don't think about the missed years in your life for there's no use of crying over a spilled milk, so to speak. Be more productive instead by maintaining your focus on your goal. Good luck!

I don't think that you age will be a disadvantage at all. The fact that you are older than the average student means that you have more experience and that will make it easier for you to understand and relate to the things that you learn. I have gone to college more than once. The first time I was very young and I didn't finish my studies. When I was 28 I went back to school, and there was a huge difference between the two experiences. The second time I was more mature and my life experiences was a big advantage for me, it simply made thing easier in many ways. Good luck and don't worry about your age, it might turn out to be a blessing instead of a problem

Hi friend don't worry about ur age......no one is looking for age .... even in my degree i had a friend she was 10 yrs elder to me....she just started her studies at that time..and she was successful..the very starting days of college will b bit difficult for u.later u will enjoy

schools welcome students if they are eager to learn . Study hard and you can join the young. school life can be beautifull.

Dont worry about that.Just try your best to study more and more.How old to start learning is not a matter.Good luck and Happy mylotting.
