Went back to university
The one thing nobody tells you
I absolutely loved it! I mean it was quite stressful and I was significantly older then the other students but I made new friends learned so much! I wont lie it wasnt easy and it was hard to keep up but it was one of the best things ive done!!!

The conversation
How did you handle the age gap with other students? I'm 38 and thinking about going back but I'm worried I'll feel ancient.
At first it was awkward but honestly nobody cared as much as I thought they would. Some of the younger ones actually came to me for life advice which was lovely.
