At what age is it too old to go to college?

[8WON6]

Never too old. Just too old to be living on campus or living in a small college town.

 

[Black Magisterialness]

Never. Education has no age limit.

But there is a too old to live on campus and have the "college experience"

For me that's around 27-28.

 

[blues_funk_reggae]

Never too old. Rodney Dangerfield was 65 when he went back.

 

[mbewane]

Been thinking about it a lot lately but I'm damn near status(28). I wanted to major in CS, but I'll be 32 when I get a degree. What do coli brehs think? Should I just do it or is it too late?

Lol I thought you were around my age (42) asking this question

Truth be told, it might even be better to go to college a little later than straight out of HS in your late teens and whatnot. I finished college at 22 and had no idea whatsoever of what to do with my degree/in life. For me I was clearly not mature enough. Still ain't, but that's another story.

 

[ColdSlither]

Went to a college graduation back in 2013. The oldest graduate was a Korean War vet. Said the war side tracked him long enough.

 

[Maximus Rex]

I went to college at 28 after I got out of the Army

Never too late honestly

 

[ExodusNirvana]

Never ever too old.

There are people three times your age in some of these classes.

When I went for my MBA there were people who were literal grandparents that were like "Nah I need to do this for myself"

You don't know how heartwarming it is to see a 60+ year old Black man getting cheered on by his family as he walks across that stage

Very dope.

 

[DJ Paul's Arm]

My uncle was a dope fiend since his 20s. Went to prison and got out when he was in his mid 50s. Got his masters and is now doing social work.

There’s no age limit when going back to college bruh.

Actually, going back to college when you’re older is better. You done did all the partying, you don’t got to worry about all that shyt like them young ones fresh out of high school. You can be laser focus on the prize.

Good luck

 

[The Radiant One]

no because you know what you want to do you’ll have to focus. You’ll like Cell, and in four years later you’ll be a computer science graduate making money.

Think about the lost money you make by not doing a computer science degree

 

[Based Lord Zedd]

shyt low key I may hop into a program I have no interest in pursuing a masters but I’d like to complete this lean six sigma stuff and I’m 40.

Props, don't know which one you're working on but my green belt has been useful.

I'm also in my 30s prepping to apply to masters programs

 

[semicko82]

Never too old. Rodney Dangerfield was 65 when he went back.

A classic

 

[MisterMajesty]

Never. My mom did hers at 40, and she was FAR far better than most of hte people there. She ended up helping others out

 

[MisterMajesty]

Tbh, the older you are? the better. You need to understand life, and why you're doing what you do. This is perspective that is sorely lacking when you're younger

 

[Raw Lyrics]

if you're 85 and above you shouldn't go to school. Why risk traumatizing your classmates by dropping dead.

 

[Dameon Farrow]

My guy you are 28. Unless you are mega flabby and sick you'd blend in with the seniors with zero problem. Get your ass back in there if you want it!
