Offcourse you are not too old. Firstly 18 or 19 is not too far off from 21. I am 22 and I have friends who are 20 so it's cool...u'd find some really mature 18, 19 yr olds out there. And secondly its never too late to strat a new degree...I had a supervisor who finished her PhD, worked for 2 years and then Sat a Medicine test and got in and now she is studying medicine at the age of 29 with a bunch of 23, 24 year olds...so it's cool don't worry! and good luck.

I went to college and graduated in 4 years, but not all college students do.\n\nMy advice would be for you to start out at a JC or community college.  You will get your basic classes out of the way like English, Biology, Psychology, and the like.  You will get used to the level of learning to which you must commit.  All of these credits will transfer when you are ready to go on to a 4 year college.\n\nIn your case, I think this would be the better bet.  One thing that does concern me is that if you were not emotionally mature to handle high school, then how can you be sure you are now emotionally mature to handle the pressures of college? College isn't all parties and social events; you really have to learn to discipline yourself if yo are going to succeed.\n\nGood luck with everything.

Probably. There are many confused freshmen out there who don't know what they want to do and who mess up.  \nYou just need to sound like you now have a goal and a plan (and actually- your description above doesn't have me that convinced- are you sure you are ready to go back?)

its not like you need to go to college for it . You only got to know the right people at the right places. The best way to start is to get into politics.If your candidate wins and he feels like doing you special favors then your in ...if not try 4 years later

It was a little scary at first, but I got into the swing of things pretty quickly. Your campus will probably have plenty of organizations to join, and that's a good way to meet people. You'll meet upperclassmen who can show you the ropes, and you'll meet other freshmen who'll probably be just as confused as you are. If you don't know something, don't be afraid to ask. Get to know your professors. It's a very fun and exciting time in your life. Enjoy it.

i'd say if you want to start early freshman in high school but normally people start sophmore year but no age that you should start when you feel the need to then start!

I can't say it's definitely the best 4 years, but it could be, if you make it so. It IS definitely 4 of the most important and critical years of your life, because what you make of them will go a long way to determining your future. You could waste them away in a lot of ways, including worrying too much about the future, in addition to squandering them and not thinking about what lies ahead at all. \n\nThe great thing about high school is that there is a lot to be learned...beyond what you learn in the classroom. Lessons you'll carry with you forever. \n\nAs with anything, it will be what you make of it, so I advise to make the most of it. Don't be afraid or let anyone tear you down or intimidate you. Be your own person. Trust me, they'll respect and admire you for it. \n\nBest of luck in school and life. Enjoy.

I say yes. Follow your passion and make a difference. If you are worried about your age, don't, 39 is a very reasonable age given your background and experiences. Lots of people pursue professional school around this age. Higher education cannot be wrong.\n\nI want to leave you with this:\n"Live as if today is our last day, learn as if we are going to live forever" - Gandhi

I think you would benefit from two years at a community college -- it would give you time to improve your communication skills. Your English just isn't good enough yet for a 4-year school.

Hey congrats for making that decision!! I just turned 34 and started college at 33... for the first time ever. First I chose a college and then I went to the admissions office to enroll, I had to pay a $30 registration fee, then admissions sent me a letter stating that the college accepeted me in the 25 year old plus enrollment. I had to get my highschool transcripts and proof of my booster shots and send it to them. Then I went to financial aid and someone helped me with that and it goes on.......don't be afraid to ask people that work at the college questions, it is there job to answer them... I'm enrolled full time and I'm having a blast!!

I can't say anything to you staying or quitting.  But as an "old" man who's been through college and graduate school (twice), I can say this:\n\nThe person you are now is the result of the experiences you've had up to now.  The person you will be, will be the result of the experiences you have yet to have.\n\nHowever you choose to finish out your freshman year, this is it.  You'll never be a freshman again.  Loyola is a good school.  Whatever happened with your other friends, you can confront it; or you can move on; or you can run away and hide.  Whatever YOU choose to do, it is the first step to you becoming the person you'll be for the rest of your life.\n\nMy hope is that you reach out, talk to strangers in class, maybe bounce off ideas and theories and start friendships that way.  Find the people who interest you, who amaze you, not because you "need" to be with them but because you WANT to be with them.  Whether you do this in Loyola or UIC, part of the education you're learning at your age is how to foster mature relationships.  You can use the skills you learned (you say you can make friends easily) but real life isn't like high school.  However you choose to solve it, this will be a pivotal learning experience.\n\n[I do know that running away to home is like crack - it doesn't solve your problem, it only gives temporary relief; and one day when you it's gone, when you can't run home any more, it will be a hundred thousand times worse.]\n\nBest of Luck Nicole.  In some ways I'm envious of you.

Seems like you're a business freshman or sophomore.\n\nYou asked so many questions. Please be fair. Split the questions.

No, it's not too late.  Your three semesters should be enough time.  Then your cousins will be sophomores.  When you graduate they will be juniors.  Do the research over the summer to find out what you need to do to get the organization's and your college's approval for you to start it on your campus.  Other people might not see the need because they are involved with their own organizations.  There is probably a huge need.  I knew some people who brought an organization to campus when they were juniors.  It's better to do it now then when you are student teaching.  You'll have NO time then.  Good luck!

Why that particular college?  Is it a reason your parents would agree with?  If so, perhaps they will pay for you to have a tutor.  If not, perhaps the best thing would be to choose a less demanding college.  \n\nMany people around here go to a two-year community college (which is a good one, but admits most anyone), taking only courses that can be transferred, and then start the four-year school (UCSC) as a transferring junior.  Seems to work out really well.

I'm in my 4th year of them and I believe the answer is NO.

This term often is in reference to college sports. Because you can only compete for 4 years by NCAA rules a freshman will often sit out their first year. It means that they are not eligible to compete in any real games, in hopes that they will have another year of eligibility to play in their possible 5th year in college but they still get to hang out and practice with the rest of the team.

No it is an excellent idea and you are ahead of most of your classmates at this point.  Continue searching for colleges because your senior year will be so less stressful.
