What would you think of a 23 year old freshman in college walking on the baseball team? good or bad?
If he is a good player then why not? Some people start college at different stages in their life, and this could help the ball club.
Is 23 too old to go to college?
I'm 22 now. If all goes to plan I'll be going to vocational school this September to be an Electrician (career in a year). Once I get my degree and land a job I want to get a 2 year degree from the local university. Am I too old? I know im not "old" yet, but I feel like a loser. I put my education on the back burner for 3 years. Ive been working dead end jobs, I just got my drivers license, I suffered from crippling depression and anxiety, and helping my parents pay bills. I didn't get to save much money. I just feel that I won't fit in. Most people will be 18-20 as freshman and I'll be 23-24. (Depending on how quick I land a job. I also partied a little too much and made mistakes. In the end it's my fault but is it too late to pursue it? How many 22-25 year olds went that late and had a good college life?
How awkward will it be to be a 22-year-old college freshman?
Depends basically on two things, your personality and attitude. If you are an extrovert, open and friendly understand you are older than the teeny boppers coming in but about as old as most of the seniors and can think clearly you should have no problems.At your age you will have various personal experience on your side and you should be able to focus better on your studies. You can sometimes relate better with the older instructors, even have a beer or coffeee with them at times.I went back at 27 and enjoyed the ride, finally 6 years later went into a very good career of my major with an MS Degree.The major problem Inhad was younger women students that prefer older men. I’m not bragging, only stating a fact and that can affect your focus. So be aware it.Also try to get involved in a club and the many various student events, learn but have some fun.Enjoy!
Am I too old I start college at 23?
Absolutely not ! :) When I was a teen, I had the pleasure of meeting a globally respected physician, within his area of course… and he went to medical school at 35, at that time him been 20 years older I thought, wow that was old to start med school, as the path we are expected to follow is graduate high school, go to tech school or college and start a job before we turn 23…Myself personally, have had some starts and stops as have other colleagues of mine, but that did not stop us from constantly reassessing ourselves, where we wanted to go, what we wanted to achieve and contribute and then plan a course of action to get there…the key is taking stock of where you are now and what you want to achieve in life…not where you see yourself at 30 or 35 but maybe in segments, next 5, the following 5–10 and then the rest of your years.Some folks pursue a degree and end up in a career that has nothing to do with that they studied at Uni. At 23 you’ve had some time to reflect, experience life a little, work, observe and probably see what can or cannot work for you, that you may not have had a perspective on at say 17 or 18…Today, people are living well into their 80’s, my great uncle a retired neurosurgeon is in his 80s and still actively engaged in his profession and his community outside of work…and he did not start his career as a neurosurgeon :)Hope this helps :)
Is 23 too old go back to college?
I, like you, asked this same question when I was 23. I had went to college after high school and quit going after my freshman year, receiving all Fs. I went back when I was 23 and focused on getting better grades. I faked it until I made it. I went up to the professor after every class to make sure I was on track. I turned straight Cs to straight As. I received an Associates degree when I was 25 and was able to get federal aid to get an apartment to work on my Bachelors degree. I had fun at my university briefly joining a fraternity and getting involved as much as possible. Psychologically, it is difficult to identify an older student unless they're 30 or older is what I found out from meeting other students my age. I blended in with the 21 year olds. Now, I have a degree, a job that pays $30,000 more a year than I was making, a beautiful girlfriend and a bright future and I owe my life to my college education. Good luck to you on whichever career path that you choose.
Is 23 too old to start college?
In your case, it's probably better to wait a year until you're 24. Why? Because at 24 you can file for financial aid as an independent student, without reporting your parents income. Even better would be if you limit your income to about $8,500 in the year before you attend college. That's because your financial aid eligibility is calculated based on you previous year income. So if you turn 24 next year and limit your income to that amount, then you'll probably have an FAFSA Expected Family Contribution of $0, which will get you the maximum amount of aid and the lowest cost of education, particularly if you attend a public college in your state. So not only is 24 a good age to start college for educational and career purposes, it's the best age for students with parents who earn too much to get much financial aid yet earn to little to pay for your college expenses, like millions of other low-middle income families. Attending college with an EFC of $0 can easily save you $60,000 or more in expenses over four years at a public university, and much more than that for more private colleges and for grad school. So waiting until you're 24 may turn out to be the best thing you've done financially, even though you didn't know it. You're also probably more motivated to get good grades and to do well in college compared to many 18 year old freshman, because you probably know that the real-world can be very difficult in low paying jobs without a degree to help get you into a career with good long-term prospects for advancement. Attending community college for two years can also enable you to get into many highly respected universities, if you fulfill the transfer requirements with a high GPA. This will allow your highschool GPA and SAT scores to be irrelevant for admissions, since only your college performance will be used for evaluation. Community colleges are also a lot cheaper, particularly if you can limit your expenses by living with your parent(s) or finding an inexpensive roommate situation for housing. Check the prices for on-campus housing to see how expensive it is vs. off-campus options or living at home.

Is 23 too old to be a junior in college? ?
I'm 23 and a junior in college. I feel weird and out of place bc I'm sure they will be lookin at me so weird. The good thing is I look young and when ppl ask me they seem shocked. I stop telling my age and then they think I'm rude. I would like to pledge but I'm afraid they will look at me funny cause I'm 23 pledging. Has anyone ever felt like this? What's the average age of college students?
Isn't too late for college being 23 years old?
No... 23 isn't too young. This summer I had a guy in my class who was well into his 80s, he was a WWII vet and he and his wife had been married for 60 years lol.
