I would love to here from people who went back as a mature student and gave up the day job and how they got on. I am 30 and starting a degree theatre studies in a couple of weeks... cheers

The thing you have to remember is that just because you're not 18 doesn't mean the experience can't be fun or that you'll stick out like a sore thumb.
I'm 32 and I have friends of 18 - 50 and most are not really that aware of my age or the age difference.
Mind you - I do think that 'younger' people kind of look at anyone over the age of 25 and think they are really old!!! Don't know why. You can't really stop people from thinking its weird that people get older.
I guess the only real problem with being a mature student is if you've worked for years and now have to survive on less money?
