Grad school always has tons of older people in it. Though I doubt any of them live in dorms. One guy was living in the school's off campus living which were basically apartments because it was half cost or something from his aid terms or something so he didn't have to commute since he lived an hour and a half away. Cool guy. Was like 45-50.
Another older guy in the cohort built a wooden plane shell to play his flight simulators in. And daisy chained wifi routers to get to his house so he could have faster internet since they couldn't bring the cable all the way down and out to his house.

Sweet dude.
I was 24 when I started grad school, which actually put me in like the middle of ages in our cohort, but everyone assumed I was like 21 because I look so young that people still think I look like 25-ish.

I must be invincible to all my self-medication-abuse.

The older people were generally cooler and more chill than the just graduated 22 year olds who were like frightened of "professorial authority" or something when it's mostly seminars other than research methods.
All of that said, none of this probably applies to this dude and I hijacked the subject to talk about myself and there was nothing Steve Youngblood could do about it.
