Is 27 too old to start college?

Here's the thing -- you can start college now and be a 31-year-old college graduate. Or you can not start college and be a 31-year-old who didn't go to college.

No, it's nowhere near too late. An entire generation of WWII veterans started college in their mid-20's after the war. A friend of mine started medical school when he was in his late 30's. Go do it. Good luck.

It depends on what subject you're taking; if you wanna be a gender studies major, then do yourself a favour and DON'T GO. Pursue a degree that will get you a job afterwards.

no age is too old - when I was 18 there was a 50 - 55 year old guy who was doing his bachelors degree at my school and he participated in church barbecues with me and the rest of the late teens to early 20s people which were hosted at a park near the university

College has no age. If you want to go then go! I had a few classes with people in their 50’s. You’re never too old to educate yourself more.

Not at all; my Mom went back to college after my Dad died and she got a nursing degree.

Never too late.
I got a college friend who's starting at 67. (But that is late.)

If you think it will add value, no.
