Thread: So when do the kids go back?
What are you going back for Zane? You might not be the oldest guy there. I went back after seven years away, but it was for my Masters so the class age was pretty much across the board.
Pretty much from the beginning. I left college for the military after my second semester... and I don't have too many credits from those 2 terms.
I will officially be the old guy.
What Taln said.
Of course, if you do end up at a party college, you can always put your Smuggling skills to practise as being "The Guy Who Can Get Anything"

I wouldn't worry unless you're going to one of those "hip, young" colleges/universities (aka the ones that have reputations for being party colleges). For the most part, you can get your BS/MS/etc with a good mix of people in different age groups so long as you aren't attendinga party college.
I'm not really that worried about it... really just looking for funny stories at this point.
As for the partying... well I'm married so I don't think I'll be going to too many parties.

I ended up taking a couple years off before my last year. I had a blast being the 'older' guy. Became friends with many profs and TAs -- especially the graduate assistants, since I was closer to their age. Ended up having more fun that year than the first three.
Enjoy it!
[edit] Amusing anicdote: was having a smoke after class with one of my profs half-way through the year and he told me he thought I'd be trouble the first day of classand decided that he was right.

It's ok zane, in my 4 years, the college girls always told me that they either had a boyfriend,a girlfriend,a husband,or a wife. Or some combination thereof. And the few I managed to catch without boyfriends/etc told me they weren't interested under any circumstances.
So.. you're not missing much.

You should have hung out with my crowd the first time around then.
Seriously, of the 8 or so people that I ran with back then, a whopping 2 of us stayed past freshman year. I'm definitely going back more focused.

Just from walking around campus a little I've decided that it's very, VERY wrong for a married guy to go to college... gotta get that degree somehow though.
LOL! I meant thinks like kegs of beer! But now that you mention it, perhaps a pair of blinders might be a good purchase to get you through to late fall when the coeds start bundling up again.
