My D started college this fall 3 months away from her 17th birthday so she was only 16! She has always been very mature and no one had any idea that she was so young unless she told them. She attends a very small school and everyone looks out for each other anyway, so she’s felt very safe and at home. Sometimes she’ll mention her age and students will have to her show her ID to prove it-they are so surprised that she’s really that young. And one boy was very disappointed that she is too young for him. But other than than that, she’s happy with her decision to start college early.
