Hi, I have another question (hopefully my last one, I promise). I am a young student but decided to stay at home whilst staying my degree but plan to move out to a different city during ls my postgraduate study. Obviously, I won't know the city, so will probably stay in halls in order to make friends and familiarise myself with the area. I am slightly concerned that there won't be many people my age to socialise with and that they will be younger (e.g doing undergraduate study). Has anybody had a similar experience? Does it matter? Do the universities attempt at putting postgraduate students together in halls? Thanks in advance!

Am I right in assuming that you are 21 years old? In that case, most students will be around your age anyway.

yes you're right, 20 but soon to be 21. I just thought that there would be quite a lot of mature students doing post graduate courses? but yes, you've got a point.Just don't want to spend my time all year in a library with no friends!!

Don't worry about it too much - I moved to a different uni to do postgrad this year and met most people my age through my course. In fact I was really surprised to find that most people on my course were older than me! My uni does tend to put postgrads together in halls and I think a lot of places do as most postgrads want to be with people their own age. But even if yours doesn't most places have some sort of forum or club for postgrads to socialise through. And you're bound to make some good undergrad friends too - most of them won't be much younger than you! Hope that helps a bit :)
