Ok, well I joined this site called Facebook, which is great, and I joined this group against those students who seem to ask the most obvious questions in class etc etc etc. So anyways, then I learned of this new word, Mattie, which these "kids" use to refer to mature students.
Well, I'm only 25, will be 26 soon and I'm considered a mature student, so I just pointed out that not all mature students are "old" and we don't all bother other students etc. and pointed out that if anyone is there to be immature and whatnot, it would be the little 18 year olds that are just out of school and not really giving two sh*ts about their grades etc. Which just gave those little ones more to rant and rave about..which just might've been my point of posting :P
So now my question is, how many of you "youngens" attending college have ever had trouble with mature students, and which of you mature students out there have found that the younger generation is the issue if anything in college?
Now let's be nice about this and just discuss it! Thanks all :)

I went to college when i was 23 or so, and it was a business college so there were a lot of people that were even older then me. I found that we all had different people who we hung out with there, but it made no difference in class what so ever.. we were all there to learn :)
