This is more for people who are older and working/Uni. Would you go back to school/college if were asked now?

I probably wouldnt personally because I'm quite happy with my life how it is, I love how much freedom I have which I didnt have at college or school.

Youd be suprised how many people would choose to go back to their youthful times.

Probably not uni, but I'd go through an apprenticeship so I can learn a trade and get into a union.
That was my only mistake my first time around.

If it's an apprenticeship can you not do that now or is it like a certain age group? I know in Canada their apprenticeships are different to the ones in the UK :p.

It's easier for those in their early years because they are just coming out of either a one year prep course or whatnot and easier to mould I guess.
I could do it, but it'd be harder for me.

I wouldn't go back to school(/college for uk folks) as it wasn't really the best experience. But I would love to redo my uni course now knowing everything I've learnt in my field, would be a totally different experience. I got a first so it's not like I would want to improve my grades I just would love to experience the classes I took knowing what I know now, would be so different and probably less stressful and more enjoyable!

That's a good way of looking at it. Like I'm kinda the same I'd go back to school and get better grades (not that my grades were bad at all) because I feel I'm in a better position in life now then I was back then so I could of done better if I was fully focused on it which I would be now. A lot more than back then.

I wish I could re-live my college days because they were joyous, youthful times, but I wouldn't go back to university. I did well and got a decent degree, but honestly it doesn't seem as though it's made much difference to my life. Though it was nice living off that loan money. If you mean the question as in would you return to study then no. I am finished with education.

Maybe. It wasn't the greatest time for me, but I'd like the chance to do it again and actually go somewhere with what I learn. I guess there is nothing stopping me now but I just feel like I should have taken the chance first time round.

I probably would, only reason being that I had a solid group of friends throughout school compared to now.

I mean, not really. I wouldn't mind going back in time and changing some decisions, working a bit harder to get better results etc. but I don't yearn to relive those days.

Only if it was coupled with a time-machine as I have bills to pay.
