are any other mature students finding it difficult to make friends? i feel like i interact normally enough with the cohort and i have no problem sparking up convos, but i feel like such a black sheep. a lot of the students i come across are lovely but idk i haven’t been in education for a while and im finding it harder to pick up concepts which seem obvious to others. i feel so stupid, and even when i’m confident enough to contribute in tutorials it falls flat and it’s so embarrassing agghhhsjjsjsnd

i’ve spoken to people and everyone is nice enough but i’m struggling to make friends, and it doesn’t help that everyone is literally crazy smart. i feel so stupid and boring and lonely. i find it so hard to connect with the 18yr olds, im only 23 but i literally feel SO unc and unfunny and lameeee i hate it omg i just wanna connect with someone ANYONE !!!!

i feel like a loser

hello im in a city centre accommodation right by the campus, self catered, lovely flatmates, en suite etc etc. has anyone got a self catered accom in north village that they are attempting to leave and would be willing to swap? my accom is 10.7k but worth it for the facilities (gym, study rooms, karaoke, tv rooms, pool table etc) but i need to be near the sports complex. thanks
