I'm 23 will be 24 and will hopefully be starting philosophy with foundation in September, anyone else in a similar position? Pleased to meet you all btw, was worried about being the only old person starting lol!!

I was 28 when I started my degree. I'm now in my 3rd year (2nd year of Theology), your not old, you'd be surprised that in the foundation year there is such a mix of ages.

Hey Jesse-May,

History with a foundation year for me, what college have you applied to?

I have applied for Hatfield on the recommendation of a friend from work who went there. Though am not overly fussed, they all have pros and cons, I would rather I get into a Bailey college tbh.

Old thread I know.

Any current mature students at Durham? What kind of accommodation would you suggest for a mature undergraduate student who needs their own space?

Did you get sorted with your accommodation?

I suppose how much of a mature student you are, in your 30s I'd say find somewhere out of halls.

I'm starting this year as a 37 year old but fortunately I live just outside the city.

hope you are all sorted
