Too old for freshers? BE HONEST

I am deciding whether to go to some freshers events in September, but I'm unsure whether it will be weird, as I will be almost 25 when we start...

I am going to UoN and I already went to uni before, to Notts Trent, so already experienced it once- in the same city! It was BRILLIANT and I do like to party.

What are opinions- would you do a second fresher's week? Would you feel weird with a 25 year old fresher? Be honest :biggrin:

Nope, I was 20 during freshers but I knew people who were around 24/25 that blended in perfectly, I think around 27 is where there is an obvious difference.

Ah that's reassuring to know! I don't think I look too old. I don't wanna go to all the events, just a few so I can blend in a little and make some friends :smile:
Lol no. I'm 25 and will be a fresher again when I'm 26 -I'll be making the most of it! I was on a course full of mature students (25+) when I was 18 and had a better time with them than when I was a fresher with people my own age. Enjoy yourself - age is just a number!

As long as you don't physically look seriously older or act way too mature, i don't see any problem with doing another fresher

Got a feeling a lot of mine will be mature too (nursing). I just didn't wanna be the only one who'd signed up to freshers haha! I like the idea of experiencing freshers at both the Nottingham unis too
:awesome:

My photo is on my profile...do I look old?

Spoiler

You're not too old to enjoy yourself, so by all means go out whenever you want.

There will clearly be large differences between yourself and the average fresher aged 18/19 however.

You don't look old! I'd guess 22/23 based solely of the photo :smile:

Never too old hun! I was 23 and went to some of the less ' hardcore' events (only because I have two kids, not because of my age) but there were people way older than me. Do what makes you happy. The younger ones may value your drinking experience :wink: xx
