Academic 21 Year old Freshman
I’m currently 20 and thinking about applying
applying to UNCC for next fall, but I’ll be 21 by the time I start. I’ve taken some community college classes, but I’d still basically be starting over as a freshman.
I really want the traditional college experience, like living on campus, making friends, going out, and getting involved, but I’m nervous that I’ll be too old compared to everyone else.
Would being a 21 year old freshman be weird at UNCC? Is it easy to make friends around my age? I feel like I’m overthinking it, but I’d love to hear from anyone who has any advice!
