Default What does your uni class as mature?
 
The one i'm changing to next year (hopefully) classes mature students as 21, which is how old I'll be then. Makes me feel like my life is passing me by lol... I know the one I'm at atm classes 25+ as mature.

Well, life isn't passing you by. Give up your pre-conceived notions about 21 years old being old if they are classified as 'mature students'.... it's really crazy to feel old at 21.

Thanks. I know that I just feel a bit strange at the moment due to change of circumstances and not enjoying Uni atm, and having to transfer and move flats etc etc. Feels like everyone else is 18 and will be finishing at the age I'll be starting.

It's 21 at my college, we've had uni advisers give talks to us as a group and they refer to us all as mature students, so I'm assuming they think it's 21+ too.

I'm 22 but I must look about 17, it was funny on the first day of the Access course, the students (and tutor) thought I was an A' level student in the wrong classroom
