I didn't graduate from college until I was 23. I'd say it's fine, as long as you feel OK about it.

I didn't know there was a rule that you had to graduate college at a certain age.
I'm 30 and in college; I went to 2 year college after high school, got my Associates, went to work for several years, but now back for my Bachelors (the company I work for is paying for some of it).
While most of my classmates are in an age range of 18-25, I have met students even older than myself.
Don't let what you see on TV influence you (in TV Land, everyone is magically done with college by 22, no matter what complications they encounter in life).
You're fine, don't worry.

The reality is that no one will care once you are in the "real" working world. The majority of people that I know in their 30's and 40's do not have degrees.
So, this is not necessarily normal or abnormal. Unless your parents have been spoiling you for the last 5 years. I once knew a guy in college who had been a soph-junior for about 4 years. His daddy (or someone) just bought him a beamer. He was living the good life. Happier than a dead pig in the mud.
So, not necessarily normal or abnormal.

Do you mean you're not done WITH college yet. Or do you mean that you haven't done it as in, haven't started yet?
If it's #1: As long as you finish (and learn things while you are there), what's the difference?
Be proud of yourself that you're in college!
Oh, I think it's pretty normal. Have a good year.
If it's #2: As long as you get started (and learn things while you are there), what's the difference?
Be proud of yourself when you start college!
A lot of people don't start college until they are older, so that's not bad. Enjoy it when you start.

im 27 and not done yet. I did take 4 years off but still that would put me at about 23. I don't know if it is bad or good. I deffinatly want to be done.

One of my husbands friends is 35 and not done with college yet. He has been taking classes since he graduated high school. So I think you are just fine.

That's great. Do what makes you happy. One has so many options and choices these days. Many successful people never went to college. Just make sure you are doing what you love, not what someone else (like your parents) thinks is best for you. You are the one who has to live your life.

You can go to college at anytime in your life,it does not matter as long as its your decision, be sure to be ready to devote your time to it. I went after a divorce to feel good about myself. Do not bow to peer pressure or let people tell you something is wrong with you,many successful people did not go to college. Be yourself, be happy.
