Hey, I think the rooms in Oldham share kitchens, but at least some of the rooms are ensuite. You'd better double check with the tutorial office (email Gaby Jones at [email protected]) to make sure.
Yeah actually I do! I'm an offer-holder and people like admissions tutors keep saying that the average age of students is 22 - surely that's got to be some funky kind of average like the median or the mode, right? Otherwise I'm gonna skew that waaaaay up. I don't wanna be the granny

Hey! Congratulations on your offer! Actually, that might be about true- Lucy Cavendish I think has the youngest students on average of the mature colleges. However, I wouldn't worry about it!! Just because most undergraduates are in their twenties (also remember no one is younger than 21), doesn't mean there aren't students who are significantly older- it's not THAT small of a college! In addition, one of the best things about Lucy is the friendly and open atmosphere stemming from people coming from a range of different experiences and backgrounds, so I'm sure you'll feel at home quickly without having to feel like the "granny"! And if you feel like it you can always hang out with PhD students and the like Hope that helps! Feel free to keep sending questions or send me a private message otherwise or if you have more questions!
I'm being a bit tongue-in-cheek about it, I have to admit but for the average age to be 22, it'd surely have to be almost exclusively students starting at age 21 - equal numbers of 21, 22, 23, and 24 yo students would come out at an average age of 22. I really don't have a a problem with it (the majority of people on my Access course were younger than me, although definitely not an average of 22), but at 31 I'm going to be pushing it a bit (not least because when I go out for a couple of drinks with college friends at the moment, I'm the only one who wakes up the next morning wishing for the sweet mercy of death…)
I'm mostly just curious as to how the sums work out, to come out at 22.

Haha, yeah I'm not sure where that number comes from, might not be official A lot of the students are 21 when they start at Lucy though so maybe the average is true for freshers! 31 is not pushing it though, there are definitely people around that age and above! You might want to research miracle hangover cures over the summer though
I just got offered a place at Lucy and I too was wondering what it might be like to stay at a single-sex college that accepts mostly mature students. Mainly because I am NOT a mature student and didnt really want to go to a single-sex college.... so please keep saying nice things about it.....
I'm in the exact same position! I was pooled to Lucy and i really don't like the idea of single-sex and 21+ and my offer is for 2020 so would have to take a gap year I didn't want

It'll only be a problem for a year; if you hadn't already heard about it, the college is going mixed and standard age starting October 2021.
They're running a couple of live sessions on 2nd and 3rd July if you're interested? The students you'll speak to will be mature students as the college is only starting to take standard age students from this coming year.
It's nice, very friendly and supportive, but no money so you'll end up shelling out more than students at richer colleges.

Often richer colleges charge lower rents, give out book grants, travel grants, that sort of thing. Might have better facilities e.g. a decent gym so you don't have to pay to use facilities anywhere else.
