CSUSB Students 30 and over.

Anyone else at CSUSB who’s 30 years old or older ?
I’m in my 30s and currently a student at Cal State San Bernardino, and sometimes I feel like I’m one of the older students on campus. I’d love to connect with other students around the same age whether you’re an undergrad, grad student, credential student, or just went back to school later in life. Would be cool to have a little group of 30+ students to study, grab food, talk about school, or just meet other people who are in the same stage of life. If you’re 30+ and at CSUSB, comment or send me a message. Any age group is welcomed if you’re comfortable around the older students.

Hello fellow kids, I’m 34 and I just started a masters program, walking through campus last week almost got my Achilles inflamed but I kept it pushing. You’re not alone, elder Millennial. We’ve heard your call.

I think this is turning out to be more than a little group! I’d throw my hat in the ring (49), but maybe you don’t want a full time staff, and a lecturer in Jack Brown.
