The Student Room Group

Will I be a mature student?

I'll be starting uni at 19, will I be having classes with all the 18 year olds or will I be put with mature students? Thanks

There aren't separate classes for "normal" students and "mature" students. The lectures are for the entire year group (150ish people for my course, that's why lecture halls are so big), and then for the smaller classes (seminars, tutorials, lab classes etc.), you're split up into groups randomly.

By the way, mature students almost always refers to people over 21.
