is it too late to go to uni at the age of 20/21!

I hope its not too late at that age I'm 30 and I'm about to start 😂😢

Never too late. I’m 70 and graduate in a couple of weeks. Loads of 30+ in my class.

I failed my alevels and I'm planning to take a btec course and start anew, so I will be starting university at 20/21 yrs old

I just want to know if any of you have experienced going to university at an older age and how has it been???

Very interesting. What did you study and what was reason behind going to Uni at that age? You dont have to answer but but just intrigued.

I studied Criminology. I was an abandoned baby in 1948 with no papers and taken into the care of the RC Church. Formal education was practically non-existent and at 15 I couldn’t read or write and had to teach myself. I have 7 children, 17 grandchildren, and 2 greatgrandchildren. I did an Access to the Humanities in 1998 and started my degree in 1999 and completed a year. One of my daughters had a baby boy who was very poorly and I had to take him. I home educated him until he was 16 and sent him to college and I returned to uni to restart my degree. He is 19 now. Uni was a blast. All ages from 18-20s and 30s and me. Was student rep throughout. I wanted to do a Masters but can’t get funding as the cutoff age is 60.
