Hi, I’m gonna be 21 in first year at Kings College London this September. Are there any people around my age starting this year? Feeling kinda old even though I know I shouldn’t really but yeah just nerves I think. Thank you😊

I'll be 20 turning 21 midway first year, we're all in the same age range so I don't think there's any reason to feel out of place.

No you’re right, and I’ve genuinely asked this question so many times. I think I’m just super in my head lol.
