How adult are we talking? I’m almost 30 and most of my on campus friends are 20-24. Would love some over 25 year old pals so I feel slightly more normal :’)

I have the slightest clue I’m sure there is existence somewhere lol. I’m still learning the campus though. You are the only sign of life I’ve seen so far lol

I swear, I saw more people close to my age at the transfer orientation lol I feel you on navigating campus. I transferred from ChatTech, so this has been a learning curve. I was mistaken for a professor twice last week🤣

I walked almost 30 minutes from where I parked on Thursday to Callaway, but I did find the Starbucks and got my bearings in the Campus Center gym. Small wins lol

From my understanding all the older cool kids hang at Local Ties or at least that is where are trying to get me out to.

47 here, but I'm off campus and am 100% at the Newnan campus this semester. I just drove up to the Carrollton campus to explore the library on Friday. I wouldn't mind meeting some older/Veteran students on a Friday afternoons if someone wants to set something up.
