are there mature students at goldsmiths? (i'm 22)

Hi,

I just completed my final year at Goldsmiths. I forgot what the exact percentage of mature students is but the university overall is extremely diverse in that sense. You’ll find people younger than you, but you’ll also find those who are around the same age or even slightly older than you. Someone that studying the same course as I was is actually over 40, and we all just seemed to get along well if I’m honest. People do tend to look past age after a while and you will find those who you get along with as time goes on. A few of my mature student friends also did live in halls if that provides you with some form of comfort.

thanks!! and yeah i'm not familiar with the new cross area so i thought moving into halls would probably be easiest so yeah that is good to hear

I started first year at Birmingham City uni aged 21 last year but have decided not to carry on there as i don't like brum at all. I'm currently looking at places to go to next year and Goldsmiths seems like a good potential for me. I'm from the home counties and London has the best nightlife imo so i really want to go to uni here. My main dilemma with going to Goldsmiths is that i won't be able to find anyone else my age as it is such a small uni. Obviously i was older than most of the people in halls last year, but as it was a medium size - large uni there were a few others in their early 20s so it didn't feel that weird also i think the fact that i'm a girl rather than a boy helped as no one viewed me as "creepy" or a threat i was actually decent friends with a few of the 18/19 year old boys (as well as girls ofc) in my halls and it was quite chill compared my friendships with boys my own age as i was a bit too old for them to try anything and they viewed me more as an older sisters. Current students do you know if they are many people who start at goldsmiths at 20+ or is everyone 18/19??? thanks

In a similar situation, what did you end up going to study??
