Not at all!

Some of my friends at university in first year were 20-22 when they started and some even slightly older than that; you'll be fine :smile:

How?

I understand

Of course not, nobody cares about your age at university - people of all ages and situations go - just enjoy it

No, of course not.

I just finished a degree which I started when I was 22 :smile:

go for it!

Is there any difference between being a mature student and not being a mature student? And is being 20 makes you a mature student at university?

I’m not sure, if they did it certainly wasn’t any different to the first time around (I initially attempted a degree at 18 which I dropped out of)

I know that they can house you with other “older” students if you are after peace and quiet what everyone else is drinking themselves to death.

Also I will say that both times at university there were students across all age ranges, from 18 right up to some people in their 40s.

To OP, it definitely is not. I have met so many others in a similar position as you in uni. I've even met much older (30-40). You are fine and no one judges or cares, to be quite frank (esp with you being just 20) :smile:

So there isn't much difference.
