You're never too old. I had a 47 year old grandmother in one of my classes and it was admirable.
My uncle is 55 and just finishing his bachelor's degree.

There is no such thing as to old to go back to college. I see people of all ages around campus. In fact I have seen what looked like a group of senior citizens in a class. Im not sure what class it was but some had canes, and some had walkers. Go back to college, don't let anyone tell you your to old. If you have a goal, strive for it.

When it comes to College there is no one that is too old. I think anyone at any age can get into a school. Education is a honorable thing among any age groups.

People go back after retirement sometimes. If you are looking to have a better or different job and need a degree, you ought to look into it. You may qualify for some special loans or grants if you are an atypical or older student, and it may be possible to go part time if you need to still work. No one is too old to pursue additional education, just be sure it works for you.

You will never be too old to learn anything! I still go back and take continuing education classes to stay up with the times.

You are never to old to go back to college. Ive been in classes where people are in their 50s. Also, there have been incidences where people who ae 80 have gone back to school to get their degrees. So it is never to late to go back to school, you just have to have the desire, will power and determination to complete your education.

Your too old to do what you want when you are in the ground, until then keep living and learning is one of the best ways to do that.
