Going to university in your 30s :o

GothicGhost · 9 Sep 2018 at 01:17

I feel a bit old starting university in about two weeks being 34.

I suffer from dyslexia and struggle with doing courses, always been put off doing anything like this before but I need a different/better job because of health issues now.

Most probably will be the oldest student on my course lol.

Thank you all for the encouraging words it definitely helped with the stories of your own experiences.

The course I am doing is a computer networking with foundation year, full time with student finance.

The wife is in her last year of university and this sort gave me the push to go for it.
Thanks.

Going to the open day on the 19th to have a look around and according to my Mrs some free swag

Getting nervous as it gets closer to my start date.
And the foundation year mostly English and little bit course related.
