Antiseptic,

You will be very welcome - especially as you are one to talk and debate. So very many in academia complain that students in tutorials sit mute like shags on a rock.

Anti
I have just seen this thread. I wish you all the best and am sure you would make an interesting addition to the group. There are many mature age students at uni now so you may find you are not alone.

Homogeneity is boring and I am sure you will do fine. Don't forget to look at the reasons why men may choose to break the pair bonds as well as there may be cross-over experiences. We are really not all that different and there is always that nagging question of nature vs nuture. Even the psychologyists are still pondering that one. :)

Good luck with the course.

Thanks Pelican,

I'm sure I'll be in good company, whatever age it happens to be. The thing is that it'll be something I'm doing for the right reasons, so all I want to do is soak up whatever I can.

An advantage of age is experience, which gives a framework to evaluate things against. It might also be a problem, if it prevents new ideas getting in, so I've got to be very open to hearing things that conflict with my own understandings.

Danielle, I'll argue anyone's ear off who'll sit still long enough. I hope the uni's ready.
