meeting girls as a 21 year old starting uni

Due to course changes/gap year I will be 21 in my first year. I feel as though the girls in starting uni will be too young for me. Does anyone have any suggestions for how I could meet girls starting uni around this time?

You'd actually find only half of the people starting uni are 18, some 19 but a huge chunk are 20+, and besides it's very hard to tell someone's age anyway in a uni environment unless they are 30+.

So just go out there and meet people as you would any other age.

You got a better chance as most girls prefer older guys, are you tall?

Most of the people in my first year classes at University were 20-21.
Only a few were just 18, and the rest were 19.
I'm not sure whether my case was the norm though tbf.

Why does it have to be young women in uni that you meet? There's a whole world off-campus!

No one can ever tell. I was 20 at the start of my first year, my friends were 18 and we were going to a pub. They all went straight in but I got IDed. People from sixth form sometimes get into relationships with a worse age gap, so don't worry

Boring! Do some hobbies and activities and exhibitions in the local area, and take the opportunity to broaden your horizons.

As for meeting girls, you will. Meeting girls for a relationship? Don't vote across as desperate. Worrying about uni students being 'too young" for you isn't a good start when you are embarking on 3/4 years of academics, plus you don't want to miss out on the whole uni experience of clubs and societies, and a whole range of other extra-curriculars, like volunteering, mentoring, part-time job. Just go with the flow! I never dated at uni and it didn't bother me...

Your chances are better than someone who is under 5 feet 9

The same way you normally meet people. By actively trying to socialise. So many people are looking to be socially active when they start university, so if you ware looking for romance or want to shag your way through half the girls in your college, you can.

That you are up to three years older is immaterial. Likely no one will know unless you tell them and even then they won't care.
