I did. I went to college in my forties...with my daughter. It was a ball. I loved it. I was already retired so I went just for the joy of learning. My daughter teased me unmercifully because I was a liberal arts student with no direction. I didn't plan on working after college so I was able to indulge myself taking mostly classes that really interested me, i wasn't doing it for a career.
The thing that surprised me was how much I loved math. I hated math my entire childhood but I loved it in my forties.

My mom went to college in her 60's. She had to drop out of school when she was 15 and always wanted to get a degree so when I was in high school she went back and got her high school diploma. After that she started college. It took her 8 years and graduated when she was 71 years old. It was such a big deal that the College Dean gave his speaking spot at commencement to my mom and had her speak.
Go for it! You won't regret it.

I went back when I was 42. I joke that my 2 year degree is taking 4 years.
At present, I could graduate with a General Studies AA. I am 3 classes away from the pre-OT AA. So I could graduate after the fall semester. However, I am so close to a double major--2nd would be in English. So I am shooting for that even though it is going to add an extra semester. If I am lucky, I can finish up with a class in Summer 2018. If not, it will be the Fall.
