Hi, this is the University of Aberdeen rep account. Congratulations on your offer to start this September! Just wanted to come in and say that this may not be the best place for getting in contact with specific students but I can try provide some advice on connecting with other students.

You should receive some information from us about joining a facebook group for those starting in September, and though this won't be just mature students it will still help you connect with those away to start uni. There's also a number of student societies which will have a mix of people from different years of study that you can connect with based on shared interest: https://www.ausa.org.uk/getinvolved/activities/

Other than this there's not much more we can offer but can reassure you that there will be mature students starting alongside you as there's always a number of people who end up going to university a bit later. Hopefully some people do see this thread and you're able to chat with them, and if you have any questions about starting your studies with us just let us know!

Glad to meet another fellow psychologist! niceee that must save u quite a bit of money. I reside in the north of England so I probably need to take a plane to Aberdeen this September lol. I am still deciding where I am gonna stay in Aberdeen.

Yeah definitely saving some money, however having to compromise by waking up earlier for the drive in. If you want to chat privately I'm happy too, might be nice to have a familiar face lol

Hey,

I'm 29 and honestly had been a bit worried about going back as a mature student so would be nice to chat with other people in the same situ.

Give me a shout if needed 🙂

Hi there 🙂 I'm a mature student starting my 2nd year this September. This year a large WhatsApp chat was made to connect mature/postgrad students, and I could make something similar - If that would interest you, message me and I'll add you to it. There's a mature student meet happening at the student union in September, which is always good to go to! I'm happy to meet up and go through the city, get drinks/food to make everyone feel comfortable

Tom 🙂
