Is 20 quite old for uni???

[Troupee3]

Just that. For an undergrad, moving away situation?

Quite old?? What a bizarre thread!

Unless you meant 120 🤔

No

Er no

I work at a uni and there are loads of 20 year olds

What?

No, it's not. HTH.

No

FGS, no.

Sorry I mean to start their first year at 20

No that's when I went to uni took a year out before going and worked to have extra money

Ds1 will be 20...he had a gap year and is also september born. Never occurred

Noo i finished my degree at 22 so no???

How would it be too old? The vast majority of undergrads turn 19 during their first year. A large minority will have taken gap years and be turning or already turned 20. Those on 4 or 5 year courses will be much older by graduation.

Okay so turning 21 the year they start

No. I was 20 when I went to Uni many years ago and so were a number of my contemporaries. I think I enjoyed it more than I would have done at 18.

No. There will be a huge range of ages. My dh went at 34 (moving away to start his first year).

Of course not. People of all ages start undergrad degrees. Why would you think this too old?

No. I took a gap year and my birthday is very early September so I was 20 when I started. Friends were between 18 and 23 though there were older people too.

Not unusual in the slightest.

Is it you, OP? Do it.

I was 28 when I started.

My Dad was 61 when he did his first degree. I think he gave freshers week a miss though

No. Not odd in the slightest. I'm surprised you'd think it is.

There is such a wide range of ages at university, it really doesn't matter if the student will be 20 when they start. I was 22 and studied part-time so graduated when I was 28. I was definitely not the oldest person there!

Ages vary and 20/21 is not going to raise eyebrows - are you asking for yourself?

I did my degree in my 40s.

No, not old at all. Not even slightly unusual. Many people work, take extra study or travel for a couple of years before starting.
