Weird, there was nobody over 30 on my campus. Maybe the economy is so ass that adults are going back to school now

Takes that long to afford it, for a lot of people.

I personally took a year to decide what I wanted to do decided on what I wanted to do and made a plan. Just to look at the cost of everything and say fuck no.

How is it cheaper for me to study abroad and live in europe than it is to study at home?

OP went to a community college. Not that there's anything wrong with that, working adults need a close commute with affordable rates and more flexible course schedules (aka evening classes), CCs usually cater to them.

Community / Technical colleges are like that.

Was gonna say, def wasn’t State/Ivory League, they literally live on campus and have organizations, sports, and events tied to it. That’s shit kids without responsibilities (or taking the risk keep up the good work) do, not adults.

Opposite experience for me. Going back to uni after a decade of working and everyone is 18-21

I graduated 15 years ago but it was just like Mitch-a-Palooza every weekend.

Same, but I play music at frat parties at mostly SEC schools now. It's Mitch-a-Palooza basically twice a weekend for the next few months. Top pic is accurate.

I live in a town where half the population is college students, I see more people my age (mid-30s) around campus lately, not sure if it's an uptick in post-grad but it's definitely been noticeable.

Going to community rn, it's a little jarring sometimes, but not too bad.

How do you do, fellow kids?

I'm in my 30s and it's a decent mix where I'm at. This place is booty shorts central station; I can see why young people want to go straight to college from high school.

What college did you go to? In all my college classes, I was surrounded by people who at most were no more than 2-4 years older than me.

Wow, I just started college and like... It's deadass like the stereotype, it's obviously more tame but there isn't a single 30 year old on campus.
