I already have my Masters but I want to take a few more courses to meet licensure requirements in my career.. I will be going back to school but be around a younger generation. Has anyone else around my age felt this way about returning to school.

Well, I went back to school to be a doctor when I was 31. I kinda felt old, but I kinda didn't. The other students were definitely younger, but we all had the same mind set and I could relate to them so it didn't feel too weird. I think it's all about how you approach things. If you don't feel akward or too self-aware about your age, you should be fine. Good Luck

When I was in school there were plenty of grad students in their 30s, 40s, even 50s. I wouldn't worry too much about it. Enjoy the fact you get to check out the undergrad coeds again lol

You're never too old. Besides, people attend grad school at various ages. They go back to school, or are working and studying. I think there are many people your age attending grad school.

I have taken a few graduate level classes as a non-degree student and most of the people were actually in their thirties. So I doubt you would be the only one or even in the minority!
