I am 29 years young...In two weeks I will be graduating college. I too thought the same thing when I went back, no one ever asked or told me I was too old for school...I always felt right at home and some people looked up to me because they said I was wiser than they were. I say go for it and stop waisting time...
what are you still doing reading this, go get a college app. and get going on your education...

You are never too old to go to school. I started college at 19 yrs old, 2 years after high school. It will be a little weird at first, you'll feel like your behind in times. After the first few classes though, you'll fit in just fine. Remember that people starting right after highschool are just as nervous if not more. Just make sure you have a good plan. Don't do what I've done, go for a while, quit, go for a while, quit. I'm 26 now and have 12 hours left to take for a degree. I don't really know when I'll go back.

Trust me, you're in no way too old to start college. I think it's great that you are going to, and when you get there I think you'll find that you blend in well with the wide range of age groups who go to the same school. I'm 21 and by the time I graduate from pharmacy school I will be in my mid to late twenties. It's never too late to start or finish school.
Best of luck in everything, I'm sure you will do great.

You are not too old! When I was 28 I took a couple of science courses at the local college. I felt pretty unsure at first, but ended up doing well and enjoying it. If it's something you want to do, then do it! You really aren't ever too old to go back to school!

you are younger than you think. Although I graduated from college at 25, I went back to school at 32 to pursue a new career. Do it now. Do you want to look back 10, 20 years and ask yourself the same question? Trust me, go back to school and get your degree. you'll be happier in the long run.

No you're not too old for college. If you were like older than 70 than yeah I would say you're too old for college.
