I get your point. I think maybe my perception is a bit skewed because I was teaching stats. If you have forgotten math (like many of my older students had), you're just not going to be able to do statistical formulas. That could be overcome with taking remedial math classes again, but not everybody does that.
stats? really? get you a TI-83 and you gucci :gucci:

It's easy if you are used to math, order of operations, etc. If you forgot that stuff, it's a different story. Plus then using statistical analysis tools on computers confuses people. It's amazing how much stuff you learn when you are a child/teenager.

I wish I could go back to being 23:francis:


Op nobody will care, let alone be able to tell your age. You're right within that college age range anyway. Apply yourself, study hard, bang a couple broads, then get a good paying job when you graduate.

This is true. I'm 31. Tried to do Calculus this semester and I'm like :damn:

I might have to retake Precal Trig/Algebra

I took stats in my late 30s, and you are right it's tough when you been out the game for a minute.
I struggled at first, but YouTube was my second instructor, and I ended up getting an A.
The modern student has so many tools and resources at their fingertips :wow:

I’d say 35-40+ you might be in for a rough time, but you in your 20s bruh? Go for it!

Going back to any age and knowing what you know now would be the GOAT superpower

These days plenty of people start late or transfer from a 2 yr school because of costs. you will not be the only freshman in their 20s. it's not like you're 30, plus you're there to get your degree, not socialize.

the first thing people do when you got an idea to do something is they put themselves in your shoes and see if it’s something THEY would want to do. Not everyone has your vision though

Do it if it’s something you want to try. I say this as a breh whose late 20s and attends Howard on a premed track for free bc of my veteran status.

i didnt have enough scholarships coming out of highschool and would’ve had to take out loans at Morgan St. Now Im at my preferred school anyway. God’s plan:manny:

There’s plenty of 20 somethings on campus. One of boys is 25.

Its never too late to go to college. I was in college in my late 20s and I was in class with people that was in their 40-50s.

I taught at a university. I've seen 30+ year olds attending, and it's awkward. They are also so behind the times that they have a difficult time understanding the material. 22-23 is perfectly fine though. I'd live off campus though. Freshman year dorms kinda suck, and everybody is gonna ask you to buy alcohol
You act as if they've been in prison for 3 decades.

Exactly what "times" can they possibly be behind about?:mjlol:

How difficult can the material be? Let me guess: "The New Math" :mjlol:
