Hey,
I know a hyung(koreans you know what hyung means, right?) he is 22 years old and he did not start college yet.
He wants to start like next year, but worrried that he might be the oldest in his class.
He graduated high school in 2004(I think) i said 2005, because i got him mixed up with my sis graduation year, he was working after he was done with HS
Is he too old to start college?
He said that there might be many koreans in his class that might ask him why he just started college.
he said that everyone that will be 18,19,20 years old in his class.

He is not too late to start college, is he?

I told that hyung not to worry about those things and just go to the college, but i think he is still worried, he said that he might feel dumb if he is the oldest.

[iDREAM?]

i`m sure he`s not too old
(i graduated `06 and plan on going to college soon - maybe a little earlier than your hyung but later nonetheless)...
tell him not to worry, there will probably be other students in the classes who are the same age or even older than him!

[srenity]

it's never too old to start college~ i had some 40-70year olds in my classes

i'm 21 years old and i'm basically starting over in college ....since the classes i took in my previous school doesnt transfer over ^^;;;

[novemberbaby]

Nope, he's not too old to start college. One of my classmates is in his mid-fifties.
Never too old to learn.

[hailing from ny]

never too late to start.

besides, he can make friends by buying them liquor

[chibi_chibi]

^ Lol... Yea it's not too late to start. I don't think he will be the oldest, and even then I don't see a problem. 22-23 is still pretty young.

[chinkboye22]

its never too late but how is he 22 years old if he graduated highschool in 2005 O_O

[Shining B*]

Oh, oops, I got mixed up with my sis's graduation year, i think that hyung graduated in 04? i think sorry

[sarangie]

it's never too late to go back to school~!!!
22 isn't that old to start college.
i know someone who's trying to get her GED and she's 40 (i think.. ).
i think it's great that he wants to go back to school~

hailing from ny, hahaha so true~!!!!

[sHiNHaWk]

Thats not old at all. There are people who are in their 30's and 40's who are barely starting college.

[NFS3]

it's not late to start at 22 yrs. i know some people who start college in their mid 20s because they spend time working after high school so they can pay for college with their own money.

[redbean]

nope.
i'm planning to go to college at 22-23, right after I complete my university education. i'm 21 btw.

[jihye87]

not even! I have a classmate who's 28 .. she just delayed her studies and came to my country to study after working for a few years ..

[pink1e]

nah.. people in college are way older.. some people are still in college when they 28-30 '

[Azngel]

lots of koreans at my school start in their 20s. they all had to go through military training first before they could come to the US to go to school. so he wont be the only one especially among the korean guys

[lucky_moon]

He is not old cuz I know some in my class they join the collage after they get married and they also have children they maybe thier age between 26- 30..

[Doanh]

It's never too late, nor too old, i see people in their 40's and 50's in my classes, my friend's college, this woman, she's studying medicine for fun, she used to work in i-banking, got paid well enough, so she's studying medicine for fun, you have people who just want to study because of interest later on life.

It is never too late to follow your dreams and to better your life. There is no set limit on age restriction to enter college, outside maybe that you have to be of legal age like 18 and I a not even sure of that. There is no age limit for a reason, because it doesn't matter. You are only limited by your desire and your talent. When I was in college, there were students who had white hair. Having work experience and being older will give him one advantage that other students much younger than him will not have, wisedom, the wisedom not to drink and party so much but to take classes more seriously. One of the best things that people don't take advantage of when they go to college is that it is meant to be a learning experience, not just book learning, but learning from the experiences of other people. His experience will add diversity to the classroom. His age and work experience is an advantage, not a disadvantage.

[BloodPrincessShiroto]
