The fact that they call people who go to tertiary education later in life “mature students” says everything you need to know about those that go straight out of secondary school
@levisan positive way to frame it for the "old fogies" (which is what i interpreted "mature" meant really, as a polite ephemism)

@sabbatical my wife (31) is in part-time college courses now and they're using "mature" for basically anyone 25+
I guess it works, but I wish there was a more clear way to say "this person has basically been in school for their entire life" vs "this person did some non-school in between now and high school" instead of pegging it to an age bracket
