BEING AN OLDER STUDENT
At 32, I have just finished my first year at university. As well as attending lectures regularly, I have
had to learn to read books quickly and write long essays.
I decided to go to university after fourteen years away from the classroom. As a secretary, although I
was earning a reasonable amount of money, I was bored doing something where I hardly had to think.
I became more and more depressed by the idea that I was stuck in the job. I was jealous of the
students at the local university, who looked happy, carefree and full of hope, and part of something
that I wanted to explore further.
However, now that I’ve actually become a student I find it hard to mix with younger colleagues. They
are always mistaking me for a lecturer and asking me questions I can’t answer. I also feel separated
from the lectures because, although we are the same age, I know so much less than them. But I am
glad of this opportunity to study because I know you need a qualification to get a rewarding job,
which is really important to me. Unlike most eighteen-year-olds, I much prefer a weekend with my
books to one out partying. Then there are the normal student benefits of long holidays and theatre and
cinema discounts. I often have doubts about what I’ll do after university, but I hope that continuing
my education at this late date has been a wise choice.
