It's worth stressing that point. Someone mentioned that social
interactions between students and greybeards may be awkward but I
myself was a student not too many moons ago. I can't speak for the
others but I certainly have no issues socialising with them. When I was
at a student at Durham, I was actually the odd-one-out at our LUG as all
the others weren't students. It wasn't a big group and to be honest, it
was just an opportunity to talk about Linux and play Quake 3 whilst
having a pint but still, I got on fine with them.
