Is anyone doing As with big age, I just want to know is that normal or its only me. my brothers all entered the university the age of 19 yrs!!!!!please help me :confused:

Kicked out of your college? Whatever happened?

Yes, it's fine doing your AS at 19. You won't even be a mature student when you go to university.

Why did you get kicked out so close to the exams? Were you doing well in your A Levels if so transfer to another 6th form to finish this year or at least have a go with the exams this year and you can resit units next year or the whole AS course.

I'm 20 in a class of 16 year olds, age doesn't matter.

Age certainly doesn't matter, in my AS Physics last year there was a 53 year old Spanish man.

I got AABB for my AS and i am expecting ABB for my A2. But im still repeating the exams in Jan07 when my unis start in aug. which means i will be finishing my A2 at the age of 20. Im doing all this jus to get into a medical college for scholarship.. i cant afford the fee.
U guys think i should do it?

if you go to a community college then there will be people of all ages. I'll be turning 20 soon and doing my A2's this year. predicted AAAa.
I'm glad i've done them later, i think i've taken them more seriously.
and also in my spanish class there were people in their 50's and older.

I also know a 70+ man who comes into my workplace, that completed an AS level in art.
Age really is not an issue.

still wondering why you got kicked out? i know a fair few at college who are just there because its 'the next natural step.' depends why you are studying i guess.

19 isnt too old (i'm older), but what have you been doing the last 3 years?

Don't worry about your age... there is plenty of people far, far older than you. Many people start uni at 18/19/20 after having gap years, working then deciding to go to uni. Don't worry. Just do what makes you happy!
