r/AmericanU

Hi all, I had a very hard upbringing and college was not an option after high school because I struggled with food insecurity among other things back in my home country. Life somehow brought me to the U.S. and I ended up marrying with lovely human who convinced me that it’s never too late to go to college. I was really excited about coming to AU, but I found it really hard to make friends and I’m not sure if it’s related to me being way older than them (I’m at 29 years old sophomore). I am very social but I’ve been feeling really isolated in all my courses.

Is there anybody who’s undergrad and at this age group like me?

edit: oops, I meant "undergrad" in the title

I’m a senior in high school and I’ve been really drawn to AU Im just concerned that there’s not really that big of a latino community bc even if it sounds dumb I just can’t imagine myself going to a uni without making friends from kind of my same background lol

For context I’m a mexican american student , I live in a border city which is tx/mx and I’ve always had a mix of both cultures bc I go to school in the US but live in mexico idk if that makes sense I just cross everyday for school

But yeah if anyone knows about that pls let me know it’s a very important thing for me when looking at unis
