I'll be 29 in a few months.
I started my Bachelor's 7 years ago while I was still in the military, but a lot of stuff happened about 5 years ago and I ended up being forced to take some time off! But now I'm re-committed to getting this degree... I've got 80 credits toward it, 40 left to go! I'm aiming to be done by the end of next year. MC

At the start of my sophomore year I should have about 25+ credits! I'm 15 years old BTW.

i read about the 16 and 1/2 year old college sophomore and it makes my big head deflate a little. i'm 16 (i turn 17 on july 30) and this is my 3rd offical day as a high school graduate. i took an 8 week long online class (that it turns out my ACT score exempted me from *sob*) so i have that credit. i'm about to take my U.S. history2 CLEP tomorrow and i am currently enrolled in my second online college english class. (i also have a full time job and i am about to move into my very own apartment)
The 16 1/2 yr old astounds me and i wish him/her the best of luck!!!

I was that many when I conferred and now I'm this many as I continue my quest!

My daughter turned 17 in February and she only has 6 credits to go before she graduates with her bachelor's degree. I am really proud of her! My husband is 41 and he also has 6 credits to go to complete his bachelor's. He's trying to beat her and finish first but I don't think he will.

Bump...
I am happy to see that us more mature learners are gaining in the percentages. Just today I was trying to talk a friend in her 50's into returning to school. We are never to old to learn, and I find it just as rewarding to exercize my mind as my body. Actually it is much less painful to exercize my mind.
