As a postgraduate student i am the oldest in my class.Others of my age have already worked and have enough money to spend.To get a better job i choose to study again.It does be a tough time now.I have to undergo such a life for better life.I believe i can get more.Do you like being a student at the age of 28 or older?

Hi yuhong! I don't see anything wrong with it. I think it is a very good thing on your part because you're a postgraduate student. I'm 26 years old and I'm planning to go to school if given a chance. I want to start my masterals degree maybe next year or two years from now. Good luck on your studies.

I like being student whatever my age is. Age doesn't stop education because however education is something you can quit once you decide to do it. =) I also hace ever had one classmate who was 38 years old that time, and she already has 2 children. But she was so enthusiastic for her education, because she knew that it was important to her. =)

you really shouldn't care about your age if you are not under the presure of supporting the family.now just like you i am almost the oldest in my class.but most of my friends who have already worked tell me that they are looking forward to get back to school once again.so never mind others,maybe that means they envy that you have the courage to study there.

No,absolutly not!you are so young for studying.It is treature,you know,do not care other's,and just study.Be the best!When you graduate,maybe your life will change better and better.So do not care!Just work hard and do yourself.
Maybe I will take study for the Doctor's degree when I am old.Study is never late.
Good luck.

I enjoy it. I'm 29 years old and I started going to college in January this year. I do have a hard time though because I have to balance school and my family. So, its not that easy to study and teach my 4 year old her life lesons, but I do it because its my responsibility. I think going to school later in life is better because you really stay focused on what you want to do.

Yes, I would like to be a student at the age of 28, bcz it again rejuvinates the student spirit in ourselves and gives us the chance of our initial college days. We again enjoy those life moments spent with our classmates.

I do not mind to be a student at the age of 28 because I remember to had a friend in my class who was 60 and he was really mature, I had even wished to become like him and when I think about another degree I will do in life I do not mind to start it whatever my age.

I dont really care about age and what people think. Everyday we learn new things, whether in school or in our daily lives.
Age should not be a deterrent nor should anyone discriminate against it because education is for everyone.
I am not 28 or older but in the event that I was still studying, it wouldn't bother me.
