In my experience, it would depend on what he was studying and at what level e.g. doing a PhD at 28 wouldn't be unexpected but doing an undergraduate Bachelors degree at 28 would be unusual. This is on the basis that most university students doing their first degree go straight to uni from college - they leave college at 18 and go on to do a 3/4 year course, so graduate at the age of 21/22. It could have been that he was in the UK studying a postgraduate qualification though, so he'd completed his first degree and was doing another e.g. Masters or Doctorate. It's not something I would have expected but also isn't unheard of.I can't speak for the UK, but the average age of graduate school in the US is 26 - 28. So no, it actually isn't too old the US. Doubt it would be in the UK either.
