Anyone starting back to school soon, or had just started recently (since I know in the US, you guys go back 2 or 3 or whatever weeks earlier, in some parts, than us here in Canada) I am "supposed" to be going to college (for the first time) at age 25.. Here on Tuesday. But I am so nervous about it and don't think it is the right program for me, and many other things.. So I don't know if I will end up going. But I probably should atleast try it, apparently I can go for 2 weeks, if I do not like it, can get my money back.. So that is not a bad deal! Image from Pixabay.

School year here ends in December and back-to-school when Summer ends in February or March for college students. Good luck with your studies! I hope you'll end up liking it and stay or at least find the right program for you...

Aha, I see! Very interesting. Thank you, I appreciate that! I think I might try to get in to a different program next year, as it is too late to switch programs for this year, unfortunately.

@toniganzon Haha, that's awesome. Definitely, it is never too late to keep on continuing your education! My mom actually went back to college, to become a nurse, at age 50.. About 5 years ago :)

That is pretty neat that they allow you to try it for two weeks and get your money back. The US would never go for that. lol

@mawdest Well, better than what we have. I am not actually sure, maybe there are some schools like that here, but I have never heard someone doing that here. This country is to much about money and college is one of the most profitable industries there is because every politician makes sure every kid needs to go to college. I am not saying college is not good, but there are other ways, and somethings should not be about profit.

Yeah, it's a pretty good deal, really. Though, I guess "technically" you don't get the full amount back.. Because you have to put a 500 dollar deposit down that you don't get back if you don't go through with school. That's too bad you can't do that in the US!
