There is usually a range of ages at university, so it won't matter. Especially as you are 22, you would be among other young people.
Would be different if you were 52 or 62

I went back to college at 28. You are not too old. It won't be weird. There are lots of people that go to college that are a lot older than you are. Lots of non-traditional students from my experience. And many that are pursuing their master's degrees, etc. will be older than you. It might be different since you are a bit older--you have more life experience to relate to your studies and that makes it more enjoyable. You are more mature. I just want to encourage you to go! You won't regret it. (Sorry, I can't help you about the felony question.) Good luck!

I took a year or so of college outside of HS. Now that i'm 28 i'm back in trying to finish. It does feel wierd but its worth it to get my education.
As far as the felony goes, i would say go to college anyways. College would show that you've learned your lesson. There are alot of ways to get jobs from internships and such. I know it will be hard but you need to show emplorers that you're worth hiring. and you'll never do that if the only thing you have to show them is a criminal record. go for the education!

go to college. get a degree. it can only help you. the longer you make up excuses the more time that goes by. youre 22, not 52. no one will even notice that youre older. and people of all ages attend college. trust me, no one cares whos in their class. just because you have a criminal record doesnt mean you have to work in mcdonalds the rest of your life. stop feeling sorry for yourself and enroll.

I think it would be a good thing. You could work full time and go to school part time, or you could work part time and go to school full time, or you could get a third shift job and go to school full time. I don't think age matters when it comes to school. I think it depends on what you did with your past (how bad the crime was) and what you're doing now in the present to improve your life.

you need to go talk to councilor at the school to find out what you can do to get that taken off , go to your parole officer, there is a way,every town is different, but where there`s a will ,there is a way! Law Books at the library. Its been done!

Why do you keep asking this question?
You've asked this question no less than 13 times before. What are you seeking that you aren't hearing from anyone?
