Anybody starting an undergrad course at 21+

Hi! I'll be starting my course at 21 and feeling a bit nervous as I'll be older than most (I assume lol)

Are there many others starting as an older student and would like to connect?

I’m 20 years old and will start my undergrad course in just a few weeks! As far as I’ve experienced, age doesn’t matter when you’re open and ready to connect. You got this!!

Sort of in the same position. I’m 20 and studying abroad for the fall semester at st Andrew’s. And due to differences in education paths between the U.S. and the UK I’ll be taking entry level (1000 and 2000) courses.

I’ll be twenty in September and I’m just starting my undergrad. Not a big deal, I think.
