As a college professor - I LOVE having older students in my classes. They usually bring so much flavor and different perspectives to discussions having experienced more life than their 18-22 y/o counterparts.

As a 45yo returning student, I'm happy to hear that. I had pretty much written off college as something that I would never be able to afford, but then the state of New Mexico decided to make college free to all their residents (The Opportunity Scholarship). Honestly, I had no idea that being a career welder prepared me so well for chemistry and mathematics.
