Where do I meet older students?

[u/PuzzleheadedRush6122]

So as a 24 year old undergrad I sometimes feel weird around people that are 18-20 since there is a huge age gap I was just wondering is there a way to meet students closer to my age?

[u/Daryl27lee]

I think mixing with grad students wouldn't be a bad idea

[u/Less_Towel_3619]

Dude I’m 42 and will be at UMass in the spring.

my mid-40s husband is a 2nd year student and has been having a great time connecting with the other adults in his classes, he's got a pretty decent sized group of adult umass friends!

[u/BanthaNautic → u/Less_Towel_3619]

I'm 33!

Hell yeah I’m an old undergrad too!! I feel like we should have some sort of club to meet each other? I don’t do anything on campus other than gym but would be fun (to do something with people genuinely older)

[u/Less_Towel_3619 → u/thewayigroove617]

Old persons club. I like it

Tell me you're in a legitimate major? Stem?
I've always said if I won the lottery, I would go back and get a degree in finance economics.
I love the stock market

I have a degree in physics from UMass. I’m doing a degree in chemistry because work is paying for it. 

I make good money already. This is mostly about opening other doors. 

[u/MassCasualty → u/Less_Towel_3619]

Oh nice...I would not look forward to taking Org I and II again. I'm a chemist and every time I hear someone say "when will I ever use this..." umm every day if you want to understand what we're doing here.
I tell new hires it's like you're working in a bakery you just can't eat what you make.

Not to come off as cocky but organic is not that hard. 

I did signatory review at the patent office. I made primary.  Orgo is easy. 

[u/MassCasualty → u/Less_Towel_3619]

Everything is easier now.

[u/thewayigroove617 → u/MassCasualty]

If you make under like 80k now UMass is free

[u/xen05zman]

Probably at a bar or Sylvan. Or any event grad students attend.

[u/pandazaiii]

There's a lot of us concentrated in sylvan

[u/False-Web-1498 → u/pandazaiii]

How come I never met any last year while living there? I’m 23

[u/pandazaiii → u/False-Web-1498]

No clue, I'm also 23 and I've barely met anyone under 20 here

[u/little_chimera]

come sylvan! we got 22s and 23s and no freshmen

[u/PuzzleheadedRush6122 → u/little_chimera]

Where in sylvan? i’m in mcnamara

[u/little_chimera → u/PuzzleheadedRush6122]

im in cashin but there are adults all around in all 3 buildings :)

[u/False-Web-1498 → u/little_chimera]

I was in Cashin last year. I’m a 23 year old senior

[u/pandazaiii → u/PuzzleheadedRush6122]

I'm also in McNamara and I'm 23. I've met so many people over 20 here

[u/DisillusionedVampire]

I’m also a 24 yr old undergrad! It’s rough out here sometimes 😭

[u/False-Web-1498 → u/DisillusionedVampire]

Hii! DM if you want to be friends. That goes for anyone else here. I’m 23.

[u/Tight_Guidance5756]

I was there as an undergrad in my late 20s

Yeah, good luck with it.
