I know of a couple of guys who I studied with at uni who didn't start their bachelor's until they were 25. They seem to have done fine, and I liked them.

I don't know what you are specifically concerned about, but let me know if you want a third person's perspective.

Hi there @noidea0

Starting university can be a daunting experience but you won't be alone! There will be lots of students starting their university journey who are in their mid 20's therefore lots of people are in the same boat! 🙂

You will have the opportunity to meet lots of people who are a similar age through societies, clubs and your course modules! It may be worth checking. out CCCU's clubs/societies lists to see if there are any which appeal to your interests. This may also help you feel excited about starting your university journey! I would not stress about age groups due to the fact that once you're in lectures and group activities, they won't matter as much as you think 🙂 Starting uni is a fresh start full of amazing opportunities, Im sure you will find your people as soon as you get there!

Best of luck,
Millie 🙂
