Oh didn't mean to seem aggressive, just voicing my thoughts. Uni, I meant undergrad and I am in Canada. My friend was a 4th year, 22 and she was 24. It didn't seem like he was taking advantage of her or she was dipping down, she socialized with everyone fine 2. Is it the 3 cases you mentioned before/know of involved in Canada and the U.S?

So 22/23 dating 21/22? I mean, in my uni, my friend dated a master student, no one cared Wait, so the undergrad is seen as someone who took advantage?

How old were they and people they dated?

How many folks do you know did this?

I mean tbh I don't see an issue with, just looking for reasoning as I think it can be done in a healthy way

How old are you?

I mean as someone fresh out at 22, is maturity really so diff from folks like 1-3 years ynger

How old were these folks who did that

I think its silly to compare a 22 year old fresh out of undergrad hanging out with people literally in their own age vs someone whose been out for like years and is clearly with folks younger and more immature I mean, for someone fresh out, life phase would not be an issue and dating undergrads who aren't sophomores is fine

A few things 1. I mean, I am fresh out of undergrad and close in age to these people, especially junior/seniors and life stages. Having exclusive undergrad friends might be iffy but I don't see why I should not socialize with folks around my age 2. Again, close in age, I don't see an issue

All undergrads live on campus? Thought it was only first year students

Field is political science Research for what? My thesis or research paper? I do not register that until third trimester Do undergrads live on campus for all four years? In Canada, they live off campus by 2nd year

That's what I heard No I will not be TA ing I mean, is it a huge life different stage when its someone straight out of undergrad and the age difference is like by a year? So do grads and undergrads not fraternize? Is it uncommon?

I'm 22 and doing an MA in fall and was wondering as there is a good chance many students might be olde than me and I could have a hard time relating to them and since I'm closer in age to undergrads, I was curious, is it looked down upon to date/hang out with undergrads who aren't freshman? Is the lifestyle/maturity too different and will I seem like that old guy trying to hang on to his youth or is it normal?

Not like Undergrad in what way? I don't party or drink like that. I was hoping to be involved in campus via clubs or attend a few social events on Campus And I am a masters, is that life different from PHD?

I'm doing an MA program in fall and have been lurking on the r/gradschool reddit and honestly, it's making me feel like I'm going to dread grad school and hate it. People say its endless reading/writing , which makes me feel like I'll be doing this and have little time for hobbies or a social life. People mention they are isolated, which makes me feel the same and that grad school is really a job/treated like a job, which means for me it's the start of a mundane 9 to 5 job experience with no activities on campus at 22 right now. It sucks I lost a part of uni experience due to Covid but these posts are making it sting even worse and worse and I don't want to spend the next 2 years of my life being miserable
