<p>not a big deal at all. I went straight out of HS to a 4 year, and older students weren’t out of place. In my opinion it has to do with some perceived sensation of respect; “since you’re at a college, you must be at a higher level of maturity.” at least thats what i felt as an 18 year old university student. </p>
<p>Then i took a long break, and at 23 im back at it. wont transfer till next year, I will be 24. I’ll be honest I did feel kind of nervous cause of my age, but reading these and remembering myself is making it less awkward. At my CC it’s actually easier to meet people because the younger people tend to be more shy in a new environment; whereas we can be more experienced in the social arena.</p>
