And I was thinking me that graduated at age 26 as odd. Though I did my OND program first then started all over at 22 to attain my BSc. Dude it is not too late to achieve success.
My only regret is that I didn't gather enough millions before going back for my Bsc.

Allow me tell a tale to reply.. To the question

1. The old man who acted in the matrix trilogy acted the top three films of his career at when he had almost considered retiring, at almost about 70 years


2. A British woman, a grandma was trying to swim across the Atlantic to make a world record. As she was engaging in the act, the tides became so strong, that she gave up, when she was pulled out of the water, she noticed she was just 15 minutes away from her desire. Guess what she did, she tried again the second year, when she reached around the same spot she experienced a tide, she thought it to herself as a challenge and put more effort. She ended up making it. When she came out, she said never too old to chase your dream. She was around 60-70.


Obasanjo became president at an old age


Point is, you're the one checking your performance against the calendar. If no one has placed limitations on you, don't place them on yourself.

Go for it. I have cousins signing up for medicine even at 25. So you're not too young, not too late. You're where you're ready to be to make the most of your life experiences towards your objective


And do remember, life's a process, just like a bicycle, to maintain balance, we must keep moving

Thanks bro. I'm right in my middle age and I still intend to go back to school to get a particular degree I've long for all my life, even if I have other degrees in the bag. We only stop learning when we die. Learning has little to do with age but everything to do with desire.

I entered Unilag for accounting at 17 years. I didn't have any carryover as at year 2 except for one borrowed course. Then in year 3 I started struggling with the course that I had extra year. But guess what I did instead of trying to just pass my courses and graduate with pass or third class I wrote jamb again then I was already 24 and I passed into this same Unilag but now in business administration. I will be in year 3 now when we resume. What I'm saying in summary is that age doesn't stop you time is infinite. You have got as much as you want. But me I'm still planning on traveling abroad after school to play professional soccer so I'm only just 16 if you know what I mean. Don't cast me later oo when you see me on TV or read about me on paper and you hear "the 21 year old had a great game today" in the next 5 years

The first friend I made at auniport was a 35 years old man and we were in the same level 100, fast forward to when we graduated at 2015, dude should be how many years ?

This year, he wrote jamb to study Law at RSU and he has been admitted.
And he is closer to 45>40 so 23 is never too old

Most of the comments here are very encouraging.

Op, I understand why you asked this question cos they are some Universities that are very discriminative when it comes to age especially some frustrated lecturers will make you consider yourself a looser for attending University at such age.

I'm a victim of such scenario, a lecturer once asked me what is ur age? I told him I'm 25, he said at this stage of age you are in 200l while ur mates have gotten married, at that spot I felt as the most useless being on Earth.

Op, if you determine go back to school just stand ur feet and buy jamb form forget what pple will say concerning ur age.

Wish you success!

When you eventually decide to go back to school you will meet people old enough to father you there. In fact you might be one of the youngest there.

Last night in picked mathematics textbook from primary 1 to 6 to start all over again and build a solid foundation.

I am seeing myself as a mathematician in the nearest future.

Am 26 years old.

Not too old to start

I applied for Jamb 4 times, and got admission at almost 23, graduated at 27 got job immediately. My maturity made me to graduate with a good grade and today I am doing well in my career.

Are you me or I am you? Because this is my story right here...just that i got a stable job at 29. I lived through school struggles, ups and downs, pressures and all of that due to my 'maturity'...Age is just a number but even numbers are not the same. There are differences.

What is wrong with 23?

In fact, most of the people u wld meet in 100 level wld be around 20 - 23.

Some of ur classmates would even be old enough to be ur dad.
