Starting College at 21-- Social Dynamics?

<p>If I go to college this fall, I will be 21 year old female as a freshman. I will also be going to a Christian college. I understand that there are actually benefits to going older in terms of schoolwork, handling stress, etc. But I am curious about what the social dynamics would be like. Would there be many other people in my same boat there that had to start college at an older age? What about guys? Would guys want to date me? Would there even be any guys my age there that weren't about to graduate?</p>

<p>Anyone? Help?</p>

<p>I don’t know about your specific college. Much less Christian colleges. At my school there are plenty of people in a wide variety of age ranges. I came in as a junior (22 years old) as a transfer student and you’d probably want to date juniors or seniors because people at 18 or 19 are at a different stage in their life. </p>

<p>I’d say focus on school work rather than guys at your age 'cause you’ll be what? 25 the year you graduate?</p>

<p>Will people feel awkward hanging out with a girl several years older than them? I would be in freshman classes obviously.</p>

<p>Nah, I don’t think so. I don’t know if your christian college has sororities and whatnot, but I think if you tried to join a sorority it could be a problem.</p>
