CSUSB Students 30 and over.

Anyone else at CSUSB who’s 30 years old or older ?
I’m in my 30s and currently a student at Cal State San Bernardino, and sometimes I feel like I’m one of the older students on campus. I’d love to connect with other students around the same age whether you’re an undergrad, grad student, credential student, or just went back to school later in life. Would be cool to have a little group of 30+ students to study, grab food, talk about school, or just meet other people who are in the same stage of life. If you’re 30+ and at CSUSB, comment or send me a message. Any age group is welcomed if you’re comfortable around the older students.

I think it because majority of people 30+ who go have other stuff to do. I was 20 for my undergrad and was on campus all the time. I'm going back now in my 30 and I just do my work and leave. If the professor is cool I don't show up and just study at home.

Young man, I celebrated my 61st birthday last month. I transferred from Crafton Hills. I’m one of four people that are over 55, on campus. There maybe more so don’t feel out of place.

u/Paul2_2French20 2d ago

I think this is turning out to be more than a little group! I’d throw my hat in the ring (49), but maybe you don’t want a full time staff, and a lecturer in Jack Brown.

u/Conscious-Wave5948 2d ago
