Students--How Old Should They Be?

Umh..i am still student...and if i can graduate in the end of this year..i swear...i won't go back to school more..studying is so boring to me this time..and i don't want to spend much time in school also... Someone who loves studying don't throw a stone to me, please...

Yanza, i agreed that student is not necessary mean for youngsters. Anyone can be a student as long they willing to continue learning. Although i am not officially a student but i am still interested to keep learning if i have the chance. I like learning since it can give me chance to upgrade my knowledge and perhaps helping me able to get a good job in future. After all, we should never stop learning as long we have the chance, right?

We all think of young people whenever we hear the word student. I am still a student and I am enjoying it as much as I can , so I can leave one day with no regret . I have many more years before I am finish with school and when I am finish I hope I will have no reason to return. My mother wanted to go back to school and that was a awkward moment (especially if its any where near me). I would not want to be a student after I graduate because I would have other activities to do like , join a club, work, and just enjoy life.

While still in school, can still be referred to as a student. I am now married and has one child, and not likely to return to school, and became student. I also do not want to, go back to the student. Because, I do not want to repeat all my difficulties, as a student. Because, I do not have enough money to pay for school.

i just graduated last march thats the end of my college life at age of 21 being student is not easy we should to be hard for our studies, remain active all the time, sometimes it is so boring to become student but i realize it is fun if we are still dtudent because we can do whatever we want we can get allowance to our parents but when we are not studying we are just in home so boring

Yes I am still a student. I am currently a senior in my college. I personally do not think that there should be an age limit or an age requirement to study. Even though you are 60 years old and you still want to finish your college degree.. It does not matter. You just have to have the passion for it. Live your dream. Do not be afraid of others saying that your time has expired and you cannot fulfill your dream anymore. Those are just lies. Do what you want and have passion for it.

I don't think it is fair to put any age limits or restrictions om a student. I believe that as long as someone one is willing to take chances and wants to aquire the learning, then they should be alloed to do so and should be supported in their efforts.

The one who pursues study is a student. Every learner is a student. Every person plays multiple role in life. It depends on the situations. He acts as a child or childish, he acts as a learner or a student and he also acts as a parent, teacher or a wise Professor with authority or expertise in some faculty.

there is no age restrictions for it yanzalong,one can learn whenever they want and its all about perseverance and having the strong will to do it whenever we want and to follow our dreams and we can remain active

Hi Yanzalong, there is some age limit in every country but actual thing is that there is no age limit to learn. We all are learning everyday something. So we all are student in the great sense. Our intention is main thing. Age is not a barrier to learn. Have a very nice day.

Hi friend, you are right, education don't have any age limitation and we can learn whenever we like. I am interested in learning more and more and wish to remain student throughout my life, now also i am learning a lot of things from good online sites.

i'm a student now. atually i'm a high students but i am not in school and i learn English now in order to get a good grade then go to university in America. i'm a chinese, most students are very young but i have seen some old students in chinese university, they are old, mabe 40 years old, but they want to learn more so they go to universities, i think they are so good.

I dont think there is an age limit to being a student, you can be a mature student. I think it does not matter if you are 95, if you are happy to learn and bale to and want to then why not? I like to continually improve myself, and one way of doing that is to learn new things. I Dont mind being a student again.

I am not a student any more, but I often admire the students so much. The college I went to was not so good, even now I often dreamed that I went to college again. Maybe it's because I don't just want to give up from the bottom of my heart.

In my home country nursery age is three to four years old. Then primary school is from four years to eleven years old. Secondary school is from eleven to sixteen years old. Some students leave school after that amount of education. If they wish they can go to further education college from age sixteen to eighteen years old. Then at age over eighteen years old university is available. Some mature students study at university. I was a mature student when I began university at age 24 years old. Mature students can be any age as long as they wish to learn. It is never too late to learn. For fun in my thirties I did an A Level in Travel and Tourism. I did a Spanish Language Course.

No age for education a student may be young age or old age. If person interested then they can do the study at any age.

I am not a student. But I have a new found interest that I am contemplating on going back to university. I don't think you need to be a student academically to remain active. Life itself is a continuing process of learning, don't you think?

I am a fourth semester student. I really felt the need for information and knowledge it will not be exhausted, both young and old still have to seek knowledge, because it is a provision for its next day.

I am student still (a college student, specifically). To answer your main question, while there does seem to be a traditional age (18-22 for college in the USA), I think there are plenty of nontraditional students (myself included). These students should not be treated any differently, and I admire their effort and passion for learning, because they are pursuing an education even when most others are not at their age. As I get older, I hope I continue to have the desire that I have today to always learn new things.

At 36 I was still studying. I've stopped now and don't think I'll study again.
