Would you really WANT to fit in with the 19-to-21-year-olds who are on their first pass at college?
The older "returning students" in my college were oddities, to be sure, but they provided a maturity and stability to the classes I met them in. We didn't hang out and party on weekends, but that wasn't what their life was about, and that was cool.
So my advice is: don't try to straddle two worlds. Be in school to be in school, not for the social scene. If something date-like comes along, take the opportunity, but don't be there for that.
