Just out of curiosity - are there any mature-aged students starting this year? I met one very cool one today at orientation.

Mature-aged students probably make up about 1/5th of my course. I met one cause I had to sneak in late today and sit beside her, she was heaps nice.

i think there were probably about 3 that i noticed today at my orientation. But the guy i spoke to was 23 - which qualifies as mature, right?

Yup, there are a couple of mature age students doing policing. The oldest one is 25.

everyone in my course looks mature aged...so it felt weird being there...

 

[babyslug]

i bet it feels weird for *them* being there!

 

[boredofschool]

probably not since half of them looked mature aged....

how many people turned up to your tutorials?? Mine only had 20 or so people... others probably didn't bother to come...cause I'm sure theres more people!

i think mature-aged students are good in a way - i mean, just meeting a wider range of people.
