    You'll meet people who are 50 years of age (and more) in certain programmes.

    When my brother started his communications course in DCU there was a 74 year old. Told my brother his wife had died so he had decided to return to uni.

    I myself have recently turned 18, June to be specific. It was the day of the biology exam :)

    This is what is great about places such a college. It brings together people with similar interests, age is irrelevant and in reality thats how it should be. All I can say, is roll on Monday. :D:D

    *gently pats on the head*

    And no, us older ones will NOT pay for tea and scones for you young'uns. If anything, you should be getting us our slippers and bringing us goodies. Then we give you Werther's Original.
