I'll be 18. 19th birthday about two weeks into term.
why isn't there an option for me? i'm 17... 
18 first time round and 20 this time.
ah so it's a good mixture then 
I was just wondering because i'll be 18 when i start in October, but i was having second thoughts about going to Southampton and intially wanted to go to Edinburgh - i wonder how many times i've said that already on here? 
oh well! i'll say it again 
So i might apply to Edinburgh this year for straight economics and take a maths A level before i go and while i'm at it probably re-take politics. Plus i will give me a good chance to save up some money as well.
It's all in the pipeline at the moment though, it will probably never happen lol. I might be setting my sights too high. I was just wondering bcause if i was going to re-apply i didn't want to feel too old if i went next year.

I'm in the same ship as you~ there needs to be a '17' option
You're a silly billy you are hongkongstudent

I'm glad I'm not the only one.. I was starting to think I'd be the youngest one at uni
(it doesn't help that i look even younger than i am!)I don't understand how you can be 17 when you start uni without having skipped a year. Surely everyone is 18 before the end of August?
I skipped a year.
But I know people (in America, at least) who will be 17 when starting uni who have not skipped a year. Some people just start kindergarten (year 1 in the uk) earlier.

In America you can have your bday in September, October, December, etc...be one of the youngest, and still not have skipped a year (and be 17 when you start uni). (School starts in late August usually...)
This might sound like a silly question, but i'm a little worrier. 
I'm scared that if i start uni when i'm 19 everyone else will be year or so younger and i don't want to feel out of place. Will this happen? Or is there generally a mixture of ages?

Not to mention 18-year olds play with legos and my little ponies.
I hope this has sufficiently answered your query.
