I'm middle aged and in the past decade, have been studying part-time for a masters degree and 3 postgraduate diplomas. One was work related, the others for interest. Most of the time, I was the oldest student in class. However, that didn't stop me from studying and the other students, many who were half my age, from interreacting with me regularly. In fact, one student told me that she drew inspiration from me that I was still studying and improving myself at such an old age.

Don't worry about being too old, you are not. As long as you continue to be inspired to read for your course, don't be surprised if younger students than find you as an inspiration to them.
