Can I live on campus as an "older" student?

I'm hopeful I can get some answers.

What I'd like to know:

Is it possible to live on campus when you are in your mid 20s?

I'm 24 and am contemplating going back to school but I want to try the living on campus experience.

Is it too late for me?

I'd appreciate all responses.

Thanks,

Several of the campuses that I am familiar have on campus housing for older students. These are the only dorms on campus that allows alcohol. Check with the college you are planning on attending, their specific website should be able to give you the information you need.

I am also 24 and going back to school! I'm waiting to hear if my transfer application was accepted or not. I'm going to be finishing my undergrad degree after taking over a year and a half off (plus a year off in between the two schools I went to previously). I'm going to be living off campus, but very, very close to campus with my fiance.

At my last university, they had a dorm that was "Non Traditional Student Housing." I believe it was mostly grad students, but there were some adult students there as well. I think it was also open during the holidays, unlike regular student housing.

Also, universities vary on alcohol policies. The first university I attended was a dry campus, so no alcohol anywhere on the premises regardless of age. The second wasn't a dry campus, and students over 21 were allowed to have alcohol in their dorms, even if their roommate was under 21. There was a limit on how much alochol was allowed (roughly a 6 pack, a bottle of wine, or bottle of liquor, I think 250 mL?).

At the university I applied to and am now waiting to hear from, they seem to consider students to be non-traditional/adult to be 25 and older. You should check with your intended school's Non-Traditional Students department. (And in regards to your other thread, they might have scholarships you can apply for that are only open to Non-Trad. students).

Feel free to PM me if you want to talk more about this stuff!

You're totally not too old to live in residence. You could request to live with older students if you choose but they won't say "no" to you living in residence - you're only 24!
