So i finally am going to college this coming semester at the age of 21 i’ll be 22 when the semester starts i’ll be going to a junior college with dorms which i will have a dorm at the only reason i have chosen to dorm at my age is because i live over an hour away in a small mountain town and i looked into housing there and there’s very low housing opportunities there so it was really my only option unless i wanted to commute more than an hour… i just feel like i’ll be the oldest one there and feel really weird about it what are some thoughts
I started college at a cc at 21 and transferred to a residential college at 23. Nobody at either college cared how old I was. Most people didn’t know. Go and have a good time.
My son’s college required students to live on-campus for their first two years and, due to the promixity to a large Army base, had lots of students who were formerly in the Army. Many of them were well over 22 years old. You’ll be fine.
Yeah, I also think you’ll be fine. This past school year was my first year at college and a good amount of students were 21-22 so I don’t think you have anything to worry about. I feel like age isn’t as big of a deal in college. Especially if you’re just a few years older than some people in your class. I doubt you’re the only one.
you’ll be fine
You will be fine. My daughter also worried about this and it end up a non-issue. There was a maturity gap between her and some of the younger students. Interesting enough, her best friend ended up being 5 years older while another casual friend was 5 years older. The common experience of bring a student make age a non issue for most.
Just don’t tell anybody your age or you will be pestered to buy alcohol.
You’ll be okay, don’t worry!! Most people probably won’t even be able to tell your age. I’ve had a couple older students in my classes and literally had no idea until they told me lol. It’s not a big deal at all. Plus, people could just think you’re a graduate student if your school has graduate programs. Good luck!
You will be ok, don’t worry. You don’t have that much of an age gap with first-year students. And there are other students your age and older.
Just don’t advertise that you can buy everybody booze and you’ll be fine
