Don't give it another thought. There are people of all ages at universities; including some who will be much older than you. Life offers a lot of interruptions, making a university degree is a start-stop-start process for many people. Glad you are back on track. Good luck.

Going to college at 23 or 24 years old is totally normal. I don't see why that would make you "old." When I was in nursing school, one of my classmates said she was older than some of the professors, and no, the professors were not in their 20's or 30's.
People go to college at any age, so I don't think there's any age which makes people "too old" to go to college, at least not in the United States. My family came from another country. My mom was looked down on when she attended first year of college at 21 or so after re-taking the college entrance exam yearly for 3 years, to score enough for an admission to the college and major she wanted. I think that was pretty admirable, but people didn't see that. They saw an "old" college student.
Anyway, people go to college at any age, so your age is totally fine, even if someone was 40 years old. They're not quitting and still studying to get a second or third degree, I think that's admirable.I went back, and am still trying to get my degree. I've been back multiple times
Congratulations 🎉
Thatβs should be a bonus.
