| Well, the accounting class I took was online, so I didn't have the experience of being with younger people, at least not face to face.
Although the online experience was tough, I think I was better able to handle it than I would have if I were in my twenties.
You might be surprised at who is taking college classes in the daytime. It isn't just young people anymore, but sometimes retirees do show up in classes.
The important thing is to enjoy it for what it is, a learning experience. Sometimes you can find an "old soul" in someone who is in their twenties and an immature soul in someone who is a lot older.
Your experience can add a lot to the class you are taking. Think about it -- if you are taking a history class and they discuss stuff that happened in the 1960s - 1990s, you can add a lot to it because you've lived through it.
As I've gotten older, I am realizing that my experiences are adding up to an interesting "living history" book to those who are younger than me.
Best of luck in your classes. I'm sure that you will do well and that you will enjoy it.
