You're Never Too Old or Too Young...

According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the oldest college student to graduate with her degree is Nola Ochs, a 95-year-old graduate of Fort Hays State University in Kansas. Ochs made history when she received her history degree in May of 2007, walking with her granddaughter at her graduation ceremony.

The world's youngest college grad, Michael Kearney, enrolled at Santa Rosa Junior College at the age of 6 years. After receiving an associate of science in geology at the age of 8, Kearney went on to earn a bachelor's degree in anthropology from the University of South Alabama two years later.

Just goes to show - you're never too old (or too young) to earn a college degree and enjoy it!
