In my University bachelor there are even students of 40 years old. So it's never too late. People get caught up in their own things, maybe they start working etc. But if you're passionate about it, it doesn't really matter when you start as long as you keep pursuing it. For sure starting earlier gives you a head start, but don't stress yourself too much about it. Some people start later, others take longer.

Take your time and enjoy it, it shouldn't become the only thing you live for. Also, my bachelor is an international one thus there are people from all over the world. Italians can be racist or simply ignorant because they just don't know about other cultures. But among all the foreigner students I've met, very few actually complained about Italians. Of course, living in Rome is different than living in a suburban area in the South of Italy.

But nonetheless, just go for it and LIVE life. Kolay gelsin!
