I'll be 21 when I go to Brookes. Is that too old?

I know it doesn't sound old, but considering most people are graduating at that age, I'd really like to know from current students whether 21 is a 'normal' age for Brookes first years : S

I've been to 2 other Unis already, but the courses didn't really work out for me. I'm considering the History of Art course.

Please let me know what you honestly think. I'd really like to know ^_^
I was 31 when I began my first degree, 36 when I did my second and now at 48 I'm doing my third. Follow your own trajectory and dismiss any notion of 'normal' that doesn't square with what you're after.

Definitely not! There are much more people older than that who get just as much out of it.
I am 20 and will be starting next week, will be 21 a couple of weeks after lol!
In my flat:
Two aged 18, one is 19, one is 21, one is 22 and the other is 23.

And we all get along fine.

If I get in next year I'll be 23.

They take a high proportion of 'mature' students (those 21 y/o and over) so I highly doubt you'll be the oldest on your course :smile:

No way! I'll be nearly 23 when I start *hopefully* at Brookes!
I'll be just about 21 when starting in September too. Don't worry about it,people don't really care what age other people are as long as they don't look ancient. :P
