It's getting closer to moving time. Still have not finalized a roommate situation. If you are interested, please message me. Even if you already have a roommate and are just looking to make friends, I could always use more of those

Thank you everyone for your replies! It is so refreshing to hear I am not the "odd one out", but in fact, it's a lot more common than I thought. Although of course I wish I would have gone to grad school straight out of undergrad because of age reasons, I am so glad I didn't because I indeed gained a lot of maturity and experiences I otherwise wouldn't have. I now feel much more certain of my goals and have a mindset of "whatever it takes" to accomplish them.

Hi everyone, I am going through some panic/doubt periods as I am nearing going back to school. I graduated with my BA 3 years ago and will be going back to school now for a Ph.D. I am in my very late 20s. I wondering if I will be able to deal with the fact that I'll be one of the oldest grad students (at least first-years). Am I overthinking or are there some legitimate concerns? I'd love to hear from all perspectives.

I have received a few messages. Still looking for a roommate. Trying to bump this thread up again. Please message me if you are interested.

Anyone familiar with grad student housing for UCSB? What was that like? Also, anyone looking for a roommate, message me. We can see if we hit it off.
