I work at a major University and also attended classes. I was old enough to be their mom. There were a sprinkling of us oldsters in the class. Guess what? Nobody noticed. Kids these days are so self absorbed that they don't see much beyond their 3 foot perimeter.

Instructors love us oldsters. We are there to learn (not just "hang out" until we "discover ourselves"). We attend class, do homework and show up for the exams without a bunch of lame excuses ("my dog ate my zip drive"). They chuckle because we usually blow any grading curve sky high.

I don't know what your field is - but the more advanced your classes get, the older the student population is and the more serious the studying becomes.

You'll be great! And don't forget - you can always pull the student athlete card!
