Older students - Tilburg - Atmosphere?
Fri May 08, 2009 10:13 PM
Hello - I am a 33 year old praticising labor/employment lawyer in the US with a JD from a top law school here, good resume, etc. I am bored with life here in the States and am thinking about doing the Tilburg LLM in International and European Labour Law. Is it common for students to enroll in the LLM at my age, and having already practised law for several years? Or will I feel out of place?

Hi Footnote,
You will not be feeling out of place in Tilburg, even if only for the fact that you will not be (most probably) the oldest in the group. I am a bit older that you are, yet I am not so scared of the perspective of being called an "old pa". We both are going to UvT in order to reach our goals... to be the best in our fields of interest so don't you worry. No matter how old or young, you will be not out of place among the other coleagues. We will make a good team. And we will reach our targets.
See ya in September in class.

Cheers (and keep your spirits up),

Hi, there,

I'm glad to see posts like yours!!! I could even be your Mom (LOL) and next August will be my third and last year for my JD. Unfortunately, I cannot attend Tilburg or any other European Uni, will probably do my LL.M. either in the States or distance learning.

Keep your head and spirits up, guys!!!!

All the best,

Hello to everyone,

I think it's never to late to continue with your education. I personally think that it is a plus for everyone to share the experience of studying abroad with people with different ages, even thoygh I'm a little bit younger, I'm looking forward to meet you at Tilburg.
