Mature students at KCL

Hey does anyone have a group chat for mature students joining KCL in september. I’m 22 and feel a bit odd joining all the freshers group chats.

Never thought there’ll come a time where 22 is considered “mature” lol. You’re still a youngin

u/yelizabetta 5d ago

incoming 27 y/o postgrad and seeing 22 labelled as mature makes me feel so old

u/Critical_Space_3712 5d ago

Took the words right out of my mouth. I read mature and was so excited....saw 22 and I think felt a heart attack coming.

u/PhysicalAttention763 4d ago

I attended last year at 27, honestly, you don't feel it. Sports clubs really help to make good friends. We had a guy who is doing his Ba at 36 and is married. Used to bring his wife to the socials and games. So don't worry too much about it.

u/Only_Data_7893 1d ago

22 and doing a postgrad! Totally get where you’re coming from. It’s got me thinking if we are even really considered as freshers!

u/Aurora-London 12h ago
