You're never too old for college!
It might even work to your advantage, because many schools offer "Nontraditional Student" scholarships.
I'm a firm believer in the idea that more education can only help you. Plus, you'll get that great satisfaction knowing that you have your bachelor's

There was a guy in some of my college classes that was 80 years old. He was a cool dude too. Another lady in another class was about 55. College is for everyone, not just young people.

Age is irrelevant.
The only consideration of age may be whether you choose the class session with 18 year old freshmen, or the night session with older working people. The peer relationship may be more comfortable.
Community colleges tend to have more older people, as doe night classes. but you should be welcomed to any class.

You're never too old for college. I took 5 years off after high school before going back to get my paralegal associates degree. No one got louder applause than the 70 year old paralegal candidate at the academic fraternit inductment ceremony. I went on to get my BA and not I'm in law school. My best friend from law school is 45. Its never too late to go back to school. I hope to take classes and improve my skills for the rest of my life (part time in the evenings or on the weekends - continuing ed classes at community college or state university). You can do it!

You are never too old!!! However if you are worried about not being able to cope with the work load or have not been to school for years. There are mature adult classes available to those people who have not studied for a few years. If you are going back...good luck. REMEMBER you are never too old to learn!!!

There are people in their 70s that decide to go to college. As long as you are open to learning new things, go for it.

No age is too old. I have seen people in their 80s graduate with an undergraduate degree.

As long as you can still learn, you can still go to college. Why should age have anything to do with it?

If you are so old that you are senile or dead. As long as you can get to class and do the work, there is no such thing as "too old".

Age does not matter as long as one is interested to learn. In fact life is continuous learning.
