    Hey there, I've just started Arts as a mature student but i'm only 25. I'm feelin really out on my own - all the other people are straight outta school!! The few mature students I notice about are prob round the 40 mark or so! Anyone around mid / late 20s in first year or even 2nd/3rd or 4th year!! I'd like to meet people around my own age so i don't feel so alone and old! hopefully there'll be a few joinin clubs and societies!!

    Yeah, Id imagine afew years back a 25 year old mature student would have been fairly rare, but there must be lots nowadays. Good luck OP.

    im 26 and transfered into 2nd year, i know very very few people down here, just glad my house mates are all dead on.

    but i know how you feel, i started into a group where everyone knows each other already, and im the "new guy" its hard to fit in.

    Hey Purplefighter. I'm 24, in 4th year of a course. Had taken over 3 years out since I was last in college, so also finding it difficult to adjust to things - how are you getting on now?
