Reply to comment by Otter592 in Pennsylvania 9-year-old graduates from high school, starts college by SAT0725

My college accepted a student last year who was 14 or 15 years old.

I don't know if they live on campus (or what the legality of that would even be). They're incredibly ambitious and intelligent but I honestly feel a bit bad for them. While they aren't as extreme an age gap as this kid; there's still a yawning chasm in life experience between a 15/16 year old and a 22 year old in contemporary American society.

I also had a 14 year old in one of my classed in college and always thought it was unfair. This kid was not once hungover and trying to keep it together during that Friday 8am.
