I did initially go to university following high school, but had to take years off due to my bipolar. This term I went back after two year off. I found that I needed to relearn some skills such as textbook reading and taking notes; and, given my exam on Friday, apparently studying as well. I would recommend going back slowly taking one course a semester and building upwards in following terms. I doubt I will ever go full-time due to my disability and my intent to keep working. I would also relax your mark expectations for your early courses as you relearn the necessary skills. I think going back is a wonderful idea if you are interested in doing so.
