Through a qualitative-descriptive methodology we can remark the following results on the concept of old age: Issues related to experience (88%), knowledge (75%), maturity (56%), freedom and personal development (38%) and training and learning (25%) with greater differentiation over other responses reflected. Other features that students have associated to the aging process are: Training, associated with learning and knowledge (5%), the fact that it is a step in which prevails fears of aspects such as illness, being unable to fend themselves, the treatment of others, to death, and marked by opportunities (4%), others refer to the concept of wrinkles, years and leisure time (3%), and they consider that it is a phase marked by emotions, noting for example happiness, and a feeling of fullness (2%). Finally, considering the high percentage that includes other concepts (17%), in this section it is integrated: Hobbies, Personal Autonomy, Growth, Chronology, Dependency, Rest (earned), Active Aging, Family, Illusion, Seniors, Possibilities, Tenderness or life experiences (distinct from the experience, focusing on memories).
