I know these type of topics appear fairly often on this website, so don't have a go, please!
I know that people of all ages go to uni (so, please, save the anecdote about how there's 45 year olds on your course) and that age isn't as big a deal at uni as school and stuff, but I'm really wondering what the average of a student in the first year of their undergraduate student is? And if, as a 20/21 year old girl I'll be able to find many people that are my own age, or slightly older? I'm only (nearly..) 19 now, but the thing is, I'm mature for my age (people tell me this, etc.) and I know that at 20 or 21, I'll probably be even moreso.. so I think I'll notice the difference between 18 year olds and 21 year olds, if not by looks.
Or is it true that people over 20 in their first year are actually a tiny minority because most people go to uni straight from school? If it makes a difference, I'm not doing a vocational course (like nursing or engineering) which are more popular with mature students, but I'm hoping to study Biology the year after next.
Sorry if I come across like as if I'm over-analysing it, it's just one anxiety I have, which I'm sure is common. I know I'll probably fit in and not physically stand out or anything, but I admit I'd rather be with people my own age.. ?
