I have seen people old enough to be my grandmother going to college. I know alot of older people may be scared to go back to school because of the age issue, but the truth of the matter is that there are quite a number of older people going back to school. There are so many benefits to going back. 1. You are getting an education. 2. You are being exposed to new people and making friends from different age brackets where both you and other can benefit from each othe ideas and experiences. I could go on, but why be long winded....

I went to school with an 84 y/o woman. She was WONDERFUL! She had been in the Peace Corps. She told interesting stories and tried to recruit people to join.

This 80-ish man began classes at my university last year. Said it's just something he always wanted to do. How cool is that?

78 years--my great uncle went back to college to get a degree in mathematics. It was his dream! :-) He lived to be 101, and he never used his degree once. He was just so proud to get it.
