20 too old to start university?

Hey, I got accepted to university and I'm 20 now, 21 in October. The reason i waited so long is because i travelled for two years straight after high school. Anyway, I'll be a solid two years older than everyone in freshman year...is that going to suck? :/ what is the average age of a freshman?

    What school are you talking about? I go to a university and there are people all different ages there. I take classes with people right out of high school and in those same classes are people in their 40's. a university is not a high school and you should stop acting like it. A.K.A. ~ Act like an adult...

    Never too late to start. At one of my previous universities, there were students in their 40s and 50s.

    nope never too late. when i was in first year, there were some people in my residence in their late 20s. they wanted to live in residence rather than off campus to get the same university experience as people right out of high school. its fun as long as you have an open mind about hanging out with people of different ages and you're not too hung up on the fact that you're a bit older

    it really is actual interior popular age decision. stick with it. Is there a idea of Junior or community college the position you're? that would properly be a fashion to get some credit interior the intervening time, besides on your volunteer artwork.
