Studying as a mature student

zoe2004

I'm going to start full time education this September, because I've waited between college and uni for the first time in my life I'll technically be a mature student, this'll only be by a couple of years. However I'm curious if this will impact my experience at uni at all and if so how? What is it like being a mature student? I'm just genuinely curious about what other people's experiences are in this situation now that I'm a bit older.
Thank you

I honestly feel like its so much better going as a mature student. I was a mature student when I went to uni for my first degree (and now again my second). I feel way more focused and I prioritize doing better in academics compared to when I was younger. I feel like teachers take mature students a little bit more seriously as well.
