I'm sure you'll be fine!! Age is just a number! Can I ask what you were doing beforehand and what made you decide to go to University as a mature student?
I'll be 19 :smile: I took a gap year and retook some exams. Hopefully doing Eng Lit at Leeds!

I was flogging insurance in a call centre and decided it was time to go and get a proper career, I'd had enough of sales anyway.

I guess I just got complacent before as the money(c20k inc commission) was a good salary starting out at 18, but long term there was no real prospect of going anywhere with it.
My 19th birthday is 2 days before the start of freshers ^_^
18 boy

18 is the most common age straight after school, but you can go anytime(and people do) until you drop dead.


I started last year and I'm 68.
