You’ll do absolutely fine. I’ve been through this TWICE!

I attended the Defense Foreign Language when I was 23 and was surrounded by 18/19 year olds. It was a little diffiult to connect with them since all they kept talking about was high-school-this and high-school-that, but after 6-8 months, they stopped and realized there’s life after high school.

I then attended UCLA as a 27 year old frosh… I thought it would be DLI all over again, but surprisingly that didn’t happen. The 18/19 year olds were very focused when required, and enjoyed themselves to the fullest in experiencing college life. So don’t sweat it. If you don’t make it an issue, it won’t become an issue. You’re gong to have a great time.

Disclaimer, I never stayed in the dorms… well, for 1-2 months while at DLI.
