<p>I actually transferred last year to UCLA and been wanting to join a club but i feel like i might be too old. I'm turning 25 in 1 month. My family wasn't doing too well off financially so i began working right after high school.. Its so hard to meet new people even after i transferred because I'm not part of any society.. some might say it doesn't matter but 2 years ago one of my friend was pledging for a sorority so i actually went with her to support her but i got really hurt when some random guy came up to me and said you look old. I just don't like it when people ask me why r you still in school. I don't want to explain my whole life situation to them because i want to put it behind me. I'm just wondering to the people who are currently part of a club if there are older people like me in your group?</p>
<p>For clubs, I’d think that is really about interest level, not how old you are. I think it is a little stranger to try to join a frat/sorority. Since you are older it is natural that you do stand out and people will ask you about it, no getting around that. Some people are just uncouth, there’s nothing you can do about that either, other than to nod and excuse yourself from the conversation. Just have a quick pat answer to give to acquaintances, then ask them a question back about themselves. That is called socializing. I wonder if James Franco felt weird because he was older.</p>
<p>No one cares man. I am starting grad school in a month at UCLA and I intend to join a bunch of clubs.</p>
<p>25 is nothing. you should get on fine with everyone.</p>
<p>As a traditional-age undergrad, I was fascinated by older women students who could tell me about life, motherhood, etc. So, there’s that. 
I like it when non-traditional students frame their experience as “time-in life” rather than “time-off school.”</p>
