HAH, funny running into you at starbucks today! I swear, my kids aren't normally that dirty.
Officially, I think U of M considers a mature student as anyone older than 21, for the purposes of admission. However I think one could argur for the purpose of this discussion that if you feel you are significantly older than the rest of your classmates, you are a "mature student".
Then again, as was pointed out earlier...the term "mature" is used loosely
Hey i am in the exact same boat as you! i am also 27 and i want to meet new people around the same age!if ya want to me for coffee or something some time just let me know!
I totally agree...it is a little intimidating with all these youngins here lol

We should decide what to call the table, so that who ever comes, can just say ___ table and the waitress can show them the way, seeing as we don't really know what each other looks from here. Unless you want me to wear my snorkel gear... I can have that arranged.

Well sounds good, then. How about we put in a reservation for "Young"? Get it? LOL. As in, we're not?

Okay, I'll call tomorrow and make a reservation under 'young'. So, if anyone else on here wants to join us, let me know by tomorrow, otherwise I will make the reservation for three.

HI Kristin..
I'm a single mom too, and new to the city and school. I don't know many people at all and having a really hard time meeting people..I tried emailing you but for some reason I couldn't get it to work so just thought I'd send something on here and hope you get it..

| For those of you who are getting ready to graduate... | Mar 3, 2008, 9:56 am |
Let’s face it, “real life” after university can be expensive, that’s why Bison Recreation Services at the University of Manitoba is now offering a new membership to students who are graduating or leaving university. As long as you keep your membership active you will always pay the Student Membership price! The current price for a 12 month membership is $128, that’s a savings of $122 compared to the alumni rate, and a savings of over $400 compared to other major fitness facilities. We also have 1, 4, and 8 month memberships available.
Don’t miss out on this great opportunity! For more information go online to
http://www.umanitoba.ca/faculties/kinrec/bsal/programs/membership/forever.php
or talk to a Customer Service Representative at the Frank Kennedy or Joe Doupe Centre.

Hey, I just got on VLC, and noticed this thread. I'm 27 and just starting University, so I think it'd be cool to meet other people around the same age group. After all, it is mostly a younger population. So yeah, I'm down with um.. meeting new similar aged people and all that.
