to get the meta-data of a var (I'm guessing symbol n refers to a var...)
you should call it on the var iself, not its value or symbol:
user=> (def ^{:some-meta 123} n 0)
#'user/n
user=> (meta n)
nil
user=> (meta 'n)
nil
user=> (meta #'n)
{:some-meta 123, :ns #<Namespace user>, :name n, :file "NO_SOURCE_PATH",
:column 1, :line 1}
