heading into my third year at 26, but iv found going to uni now isnt about the 'uni' lifestyle, its about making things better.

I think maybe going to uni when you really know what you want and how to get there is much better.
The amount of work and effort I put into uni now is far more than I would have at aged 18.
I know so many people who went to a mediocre uni, got a third in a crap subject and ended up moving back in with their parents.
I wouldn't have bothered going back into education if I didn't have the skills or determination to get a first.

i've worked 2 years.
went back studying at 23.
it's cool, but it's really a step back at the financial side of it, very difficult thing to do whatsoever

Definitely looking to get more involved next year though, but only to meet more women!

Same goes for my approach to uni.

This.
I'm going to graduate my Bsc in Business and Management next year at 20. I've hated it since I started, and came into uni underage, so I always had a bit of a self-esteem problem with the womenz. It's fucking waste, since if I ever actually have to use the degree, I'll consider my life fail anyway. I'm planning on taking a gap year and starting a music technology course, or something like that.
In summary, it's better to be older. I'm looking forward to going in with a beard, and bagging all the poon, instead of being the young fella who couldn't get into clubs.
