After retiring from a career in real estate, Dan Izokaitis is headed back to school at the University of Guelph, at no cost
After retiring from a career in real estate, he thought 'it’s never too late to get back to learning.' So, in September, Izokaitis headed back to the University of Guelph to do just that.“I’m 50 years older than any single student in the room. But I was curious about was going on and I wanted to find out what they are teaching students today."
“Senior citizen students have a choice of auditing a course or taking a course for credit,” says admission counsellor Hilary Holmes. Because he worked in the real estate field, 46 of his 50 working years, Izokaitis thought that maybe he could find something related. “When I went to school, this wasn’t offered. I was curious about what they are teaching these kids as far as commercial or residential real estate. And because I always worked for a tenant, representing their real estate within the U.S. and Canada, I was curious about what being a landlord was all about,” Izokaitis said.
Holmes says Undergraduate Admission Services at U of G advises about 10-15 senior citizen applicants per year. Izokaitis says going back to school this time, was more of a personal test for himself to see if he could go back.
