    Thank GOD, I was afraid I'd be living with a bunch of kids. I'm turning 21 in november and I'll be living in Kings Street Exchange. First year in scotland, studying Economics and Finance at Aberdeen Uni.

    We can all have a nice "old people's" meeting with wine and classical music lol
    Not that I don't enjoy going out every now and then but as I've lived away from home and also abroad before, partying is not my main reason for going to university. And especially partying with 17yo kids

    I'm gonna be doing Politics & IR and got a place today for Hector Boece. We all seem to live in different places :/

    Ah shame. Atleast you're in the same building. I hope there's more of us "mature" students at King Street Exchange, I don't relish the thought of living among 17- and 18-year olds. If i remember correctly, I was really annoying at that age... :P

    If you feel you are old and mature but just look very young then why not
