Where I went, it turned out that more than 33% of the student population was "non-traditional". There's a national organization and many many colleges have an organization for students who are either older, parents, or ex-military (those were the conditions to join our organization). I wasn't too old (at least I like to think that) but the ages in our group ranged from around 24 to 60. They were a great group of people who became a support group for me. I don't know what your circumstances are but you'll likely find someone there to connect with.
