Here’s further comfort for Sammie, AMT295‘s mature student apprehensively awaiting Freshers’ Week. Ian, aged 28, writes:
I’ve just finished my degree as a ‘mature’ student, and like you said last week, there’s really nothing to worry about.
No one really cares how old you are, as long as you’re not a nob! You soon make friends (it’s a cliché… But true) and societies can be a great way of meeting people. Freshers’ Week is what you make of it. Getting smashed isn’t mandatory but getting involved will help your younger peers see that you are just a normal bloke (I assume) and aren’t going to be the weird older guy (I assume).
Just remember: they’re more scared of you (and the situation) than you are of them (cliché 2).
Aah, young students are just like house spiders! That’s reassuring, isn’t it, Sammie?
Freshers’ Week is just around the corner now, so any of you have further advice for freshers of any age, bestow it in the comments.
