When are you too old for college?

[TStoneMBD]

Lately I've been thinking about possibly going to college. I'm not sure if I want to wait a couple more years or not, but I'm starting to wonder if I'm getting too old to go to college. I'm certainly getting dumber as time passes. I'm currently 20, when do you think it's too late for me to go to college? I don't want to be that 30 year old guy on campus chasing the freshmen cherries, err well maybe I do.

...uh... never...

20 is definitely not to late. Plenty of people take a year or two off after high school to travel/work/whatever. You'll be fine.

Definitely not too late. At community colleges there are people in their 30s and 40s. You should go - at least take a few units every semester so that you're gradually working towards a degree.

Wow, you're twenty? Yeah, forget about it- you're too old for college… although I hear McDonalds is hiring… never too old for that.

i didnt mean to imply that 20 is too old for college. i posted this because i want to know if i wait until im 25 will it be too late and awkward. im thinking about whether i want to attend college within a few years or not and i fear it may be awkward when im older.

Yeah, I knew that, but you're never too old to go to college. If you want to go to the ones that have parties and what not (i.e., you're not going to just study), then yes, get in there before you turn 24.

i just feel that college really is overrated in terms of learning anything. you can learn just as much on your own if your willing to read, etc.
granted it might not be so easy to get a job without school. but think school is dumb.

Are you talking about attending college or living the college lifestyle?

25 is really pushing it as far as becoming a creepy older guy that shouldn't be hanging out with freshman. Go asap, it's easy and a lot of fun.
