I didn’t go to school until I was 34! I had no intention of going to college out of high school, joined the military, then was a stay-at-home-mom. It wasn’t until my youngest child was in full time school that I went to community college, then got into the University of Colorado. It was a bit weird at times, since I had more in common with my professors than my fellow undergrads, or even the grad students, they often saw me more as a peer than a student.

Your age difference is much less than the one I dealt with, you will have a lot in common with many of the seniors and grad students.

However, I did learn quickly that the more mature approach to education made it a LOT easier. I found college to be incredibly easy and ended up almost finishing three majors in 3.5 years, since I no longer viewed classes as a chore - they became fascinating opportunities instead.
