This article states: "Students are often 17–18 years old, and on rarer occasions, can be 19 years old or older." We've seen people skip grades, so it is also possible for someone to be younger than 17-18 too. Indeed when we were in grad school at Ga Tech back in the 80s, there was student who'd graduated from high school at something like 13-14, gotten a B.S. at like 17, and was now a Ph.D. student at 18. Of course, he wasn't prepared socially or mentally and failed to pass the qualifiers. Often wonder whatever happened to him...he'd joined the Navy to get the money to get the Ph.D. so imagined him as some miserable 18 year old junior officer on a destroyer somewhere.
