    I re-enrolled in Uni when i was 33. I was kinda worrying that I’d be ‘the old guy’ and shunned by the younger students.

    Totally not true. I never felt any exclusion. The only one calling me old would be myself, jokingly. If OP would just ask for tips/advice from the younger ones who beat his ass they would certainly help them.

      when i was in community college, the most chill person was the 30 year old dude. if youre in education theres no age ceiling imo, as there is always a bunch of practical classes that will be relevant at any age.

      like im not gonna complain about the age of someone taking a cooking class.
