Is it ok to skip freshers week as a mature student?

I'm planning on going to mine (36 m), for the freshers fayre at least- see what freebies I can score. Also, I know there's at least a mature students society and a society relating directly to my course that I want to scope out and get some info from, as well as the support in place for students. Never know, might stumble upon another society that grabs my interest. As for the events and socialising side, I've signed up for a trip to a local, casual driving range. I figured if I can find the mature students society, see if anyone from there is going, or see if I can get folk to tag along and that's the start of getting to know some new people. If there's not anyone interested- well at the very worst, I get some time to practice my game! Defo won't be clubbing or spending late nights in the union on that side of events, but if there's anything there that's interesting you- go for it! If it's a bust, well at least you tried, and you never know- it might actually go amazing!

Hey, not sure if this question is silly or now.
I just turned 30 this August and am starting at Arts Uni Plymouth in September, I'm quite anxious about the fact that as an older male younger people may feel a bit weirded out with an older guy at their events.
I live at home which is close to 2 hours away from the University so getting to freshers events itself would be inconvenient.
I want to make sure I make the correct decisions, I don't want to isolate myself but I also want to be self aware and conscious of the fact that I am likely much older than many of my fellow students. does anyone have any advice about how they approached these kinds of things as mature students.
Thank you
