Starting Uni at 25

>I would be studying my favorite subject such as Western Literature and Languages plus a bunch of cool stuff like Medieval History and Geo politics.

Why don't you just flush money down the toilet? Seems like it would be less of a hassle.

I'm not American so University is way more affordable for me. Plus I live in a country with fuckloads of medieval history.

mate....

No, it doesn't fucking matter. I had 30+ colleagues in college (I was 18-22) and they had no issue fitting in. No one treated them differently. Actually one of them was on of my closer friends in college.

No one cares if you're 25 as long as you're not socially retarded.

The age gap will work in your favor, socially, but are you sure about the mayor?
You should choose it based on the job market (unless you're filthy rich and don't care about it anyway), yours is a very weak choice right now.

The career path is what I want to do with my life which is something I have never been able to say in my life. A distant relative of mine did the same thing and she works as a teacher now.

Ask her about the job market for teachers with her degree then.
If you're in Europe, there's a huge need for Maths, Physics and Science teachers, but too many in the lit departments, so double check how it's going in your country.
You don't want to graduate and find your career path will never even start because there are just too many other graduates in your discipline.

This is terrible advice. Never go for meme jobs. You can make a decent living in any field, provided you're good at it. And having a passion for it will make you more than good at it. On the other side if you go for a well-paid field you have no interest in you'll hate studying, you'll hate your job and you'll hate your life. And Because of it you'll always be bad or average at it, so you won't make a fortune either.

If you keep that mentality you'll never amount to anything and you'll be miserable.

Anon I'm 25 and I'm in 2nd year of systems engineering which is 5 years long. It used to bug me, the age difference, but it's not worth it worrying about it really. The real matter is whether you like what you will be doing when you graduate. Enjoying studying the career is important but the crucial thing is figuring out if you'll like what comes after it.
Also, make sure you know which activities are your hobbies and which you wanna live off of.
Godspeed OP

To do it right, you have to go for the well-paying field that you have some interest and attitude for, and keep an open mind for the possibilities that crop up.
Doing otherwise, with a non-flexible path, is too big a risk.

you're talking as if you can have some interest for a bunch of fields. Don't you see how nowadays most young adults are interested solely in playing videogames, watching TV and browsing social sites? Most people are lucky if they can identify a field they're interested in by the time they're 20, let alone finding a well-paid one. And no, just because something you don't know anything about sounds vaguely interesting doesn't mean you have an interest in it. 9 out of 10 times it will turn out it's not what you're expecting.

OP, if you really like it just go and study it. You'll be happier and more successful this way, I've seen it happen over and over.

You can be interested in multiple related fields, and choose the best one.
Anyway, OP is 25, I expect him to know himself a bit better than a teenager.

You will be surprised when you get to uni to discover that there will be A LOT of people your age or older. Many will have your story - they weren't ready for uni at 18 but now are more clear-minded and motivated. You will NOT stand out or be a freak among youngsters.

There are, broadly, two reasons for going to uni - to prepare for a profession, or just to learn stuff because it's fun. Most of the 18 year olds are of the first persuasion. Many of the older students will be of the second. (Of course it's not an either-or choice - you can study what interests you and along the way discover if it has practical opportunities as well.)

I have a 60 year old Indian guy who I don't even think can speak English in one one of my classes. I think you'll be fine anon
