No, you are not too old. Sounds to me like you are now ready to take college seriously and get a good education. Trust me, you will NOT be the oldest student in the class. Lots of people go back much later in life. Good luck and have a great time!

No, you are just fine. Many colleges are populated with people in their mid thirties on up so 23 is most definatly not too old, in fact you are closer to the ages of the young students than the “old heads” that are in their thirties.

Go for it. With the growing popularity of online courses, the median age for college level students is around 30 these days. I know plenty of people in thier 30’s and 40’s who enrolled in B.A. programs and graduated.

You are NEVER too old to go to college. There’s an old saying that I like to quote to people about this:
“Going back to school is like planting a tree. The best time to do it is 10 years ago. The second-best time is right now.”
Go for it! You’ll never be sorry.

I left college when I was 22, went back when I was 40, and got my degree.
Never too old.

You’re never too old to go to college. I know, I went to college in my 30s.
