A 27-year-old Sports Management student (Monty, Semester 1 Senior Storyteller) reflects on starting university later than most and what he learned about campus life along the way. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turns out starting university at 27 comes with a few unexpected discoveries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first time I realised I might be a \u2018mature-aged student\u2019, someone in my class asked me a very genuine question: “Did you fail before? Is that why you\u2019re studying now?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I laughed and explained that sometimes people simply take different paths. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it did make me start observing campus life more closely. Somewhere between hearing the word \u2018bro\u2019 in every second sentence and watching students perfectly execute the mysterious \u2018six seven\u2019 hand gesture, I realised this experience deserved its own little field study. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, here are the findings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Field notes from starting university at 27 \u2014 from mysterious TikTok trends to unexpected mentor moments.<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Field note #1: Campus culture moves fast <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

University culture moves fast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conversations around me often include K-pop \u2018stans\u2019, techno songs with no lyrics and trends that seem to appear overnight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Someone says, \u2018six seven\u2019 and suddenly half the group is doing a coordinated hand gesture while I\u2019m just standing there wondering if I missed an orientation explaining it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Between TikTok dances on Simpson Lawn and ducks casually walking through campus like they own the place, La Trobe definitely has its own ecosystem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be fair though, the energy younger students bring to campus is something I genuinely admire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Field note #2: The Mature-aged student advantage <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Being a mature student also has its benefits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I found it easier to approach staff, ask questions and build professional relationships. Having lived independently before university also helped me balance responsibilities like cooking, laundry and study. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And\u00a0perhaps the\u00a0biggest mature student advantage of\u00a0all: actually\u00a0reading\u00a0the LMS announcements.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Field note #3: The unexpected mentor moment <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One thing I didn\u2019t expect was occasionally becoming the person people asked for advice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In one of my Sports Management classes, a student once asked me what internships they should pursue to break into the sports industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Something similar happened during a shoot in my role as a Senior Student Storyteller, when a student asked, “How do I get the job you have?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moments like that reminded me that experience outside university can sometimes help others navigating it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final\u00a0findings\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If this little\u00a0\u2018study\u2019\u00a0taught me anything,\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0that\u00a0there\u2019s\u00a0no single timeline for university.\u00a0Everyone simply arrives here through different paths.\u00a0Being older gave me the confidence to try new things and appreciate the opportunities university offers.\u00a0It also reminded me that you\u00a0don\u2019t\u00a0need a huge circle of friends \u2014 sometimes two or three genuine friendships are more than enough.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And honestly, campus would probably be far less interesting if everyone was the same age. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you ever see someone slightly confused about a TikTok trend but very confident about where the washing machines are in Res\u2026 there\u2019s a good chance you\u2019ve just met a mature-aged student. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
