Going to uni aged 21 2014! (NTU)

Scroll to see replies

Hi guys, I was just wondering if there is anyone going to uni or anyone who went to uni at aged 21 as I will be. How did you find making friends with people your own age? Also, will you be with a bunch of 18 year olds when living in halls or do they tend to mix it up? I don't really mind living with 18 year olds but I just don't want to feel like the granny of the group:/. I'm applying to Nottingham Trent as my first choice. Thanks in advance :smile:

Hey,

I just booked my accommodation for Gill Street and the Uni told me before which rooms were for mature and those rooms didn't even come up and I am 21. So I guess they may be for postgrads anyway?

Hey I'm kinda in the same boat so I don't think you should worry :smile:

I'll be 20 soon and 21 within my first year and am looking at staying at either gill street, gill street south, Simpson or Byron (but really haven't got a clue yet!) Hopefully there will be a good mix of ages :smile:

I will be 22 when I start and I have booked Gill Street South. I don't expect there to be much difference between the ages as we will all be adults when we start

I am a first year student and three of my flat mates are older than the traditional sixth form leaver age, not an issue at all really.

Hey! I'm a second year, but I am planning on moving back into halls for my third year - hopefully gill street.
Do you remember which rooms they said were for mature students by any chance?
Thank you! :biggrin:

I'll be 21 when I start but I guess it's a good age; old enough to have done some work and maybe have a bit of life experience and young enough still to go out and enjoy yourself.
