OP here. Thanks for the words of wisdom. Idk, everyone on here seems to be under the impression that if I leave Columbia, I'll NEVER be able to graduate from college EVER in the future and I should just suck it up in this hellhole and stay. Interesting to hear that you found older students to be more focused -- the commenters on here seem to believe that older students just don't finish, ever. [/quote]

To be fair, it will be harder. You'll probably squeeze classes in at night. You could always save up [i]just a little more[/i] money before going back. You might get married. You might find something you're happier in. And being real, it will close doors. I have a close friend who came back to school at 35. She originally failed chemistry at 18 after having some mental stuff going on. She came back and did something else. But at 35 she tried again to become a doctor. Even though she had her masters and straight As in all of her classes, med schools didn't want her. But she is a nurse now, and she's doing fine.

And it's a different experience. Will you get into a great sorority? No. But you can still have a fulfilling and successful career/education.[/quote]
