The Student Room Group

Am I too old for TSR?

I have recently returned to education and thought it would be a good idea to join a educational website for students. However, I am 58 and my grandson, who is eighteen, believes I am too old to be on this website as it is full of children. Am I too old?

There are people of all ages on here. Parents, students, professors, etc.
Yes. However, you're here for a purpose which is your education so you get a pass.
Grandson, this is 'The Student Room'. If you are a student, this is website is for you.

Nope. You're a student and this is a student place. Your maturity and perspective may well be useful characteristics for contributing to discussions.
You’re definitely not too old.

Well you are a student. This is the student Room.

Many of the users aren’t necessarily students. There are ex-students, teachers, academics, people with careers advice, and many more.

You can do what you want with your account!

I personally find it quite weird but that's just me.

Try to let it go. You feeling weird about it will only make it an issue, when the truth of the matter is that it isn't at all.
