After a fulfilling career as a dancer, Lori Hamar went back to college at 52 to study Child and Youth Care.

The experience of going to university now is much different for Lori than it was the first time around, when she was 19 years old.

Lori tells Candy about what it's like to be a mature student, and shares advice for anyone considering it.
