Am I old?

So I live in Canada and I’m finishing up my Bachelor of Honours now, and then I plan on coming to the UK for an LLB, anyways i’ll be 22 soon, do you think that will make me feel awkward at all in terms of other people at uni or is that normal?

Thanks

You're far from old...

I wouldn't worry about it.

Very normal. Most students will be between 18-23. You'll fit in just fine.

LMAO i know! just in relation to everyone else? idk just curious
I medically deferred my LLB in 2013. Now applying to go back aged 22. Extreme anxiety about it.
My law class was predominantly older people. Also people dont really care.

My main concern is grinding the legal ladder after my degree. I have friends that have done their LLB, masters and doing their LPC...

What Uni are you going to?

Okay good, i think i’d appreciate a more mature crowd. I’ll probably be going to Uni of Birmingham because they have a 2 year LLB for graduates so i think it’ll be great.

Some people start university at 25+...the age group is generally quite diverse so you won't be old at all.

I remember one day, I randomly got into a conversation with one of the girls on my course and to my genuine surprise she told me she had just turned 18 and I thought that was crazy since my other course mates were around 21/22/23 (but she was from an international school in the Philippines so maybe it's different there :lol: ).

My main concern is employability. I feel like city law firms look down on accelerated degrees in general. I am so unsure its frustrating. The statistics are not that compelling. The degree they provide is geared towards students who want to be lawyers.

It seems it's quite popular for Canadians to come to the UK to do postgrad Law courses!

Met two people just like you in my last year of university :lol:

I’m not sure how other people do it, personally i’m just fortunate and happen to have parents that are paying for it.

Maybe a bank loan?
