A început facultatea la 87 de ani / Cum a fost prima săptămână pentru cel mai în vârstă student din Iași: „Timp nu mai există deloc” / ”Când ajungem acasă ne apucăm imediat de lucru, pentru că e multă materie”

Viorel Pintilescu, an 87-year-old retiree, has enrolled at the University of Agricultural Sciences in Iași, becoming a student after over sixty years. He finds the coursework manageable but acknowledges the demanding schedule. Viorel appreciates the strict attendance rules for laboratory sessions, understanding their importance for practical learning. He enjoys the affordable meals at the university canteen and maintains a focused approach to his studies, despite the challenges of balancing coursework with home responsibilities. The current biology program is condensed into three years, differing from the four-year structure he experienced in the past. Viorel notes a more relaxed approach to note-taking in classes, as professors provide materials afterward.
