How old will your child be when they start college?

My son was 17 when he started and more mature than most of the young men in his dorm. He always said he had an “older brain” which in some ways I loved, he saw some repercussions before they happened. He also handled quite a few issues without telling me which I found surprising since he wasn’t used to being so independent. I don’t think age has that much to do with it, most is personality and maturity.
My girls will be just 18 when they embark and I hope they handle it as well.
