[quote=Anonymous]One data point OP. Not claiming to have all the answers but I have observed my friend over the last 25 years: One of my best friends was 16 when she started at our very selective college. We are 46/44 now and she frequently mentions how awful it was for her to be so immature on campus when she started. She was having hopeless crushes on the lacrosse players who were giving her no attention, whcih is super normal for a 16 yo but not as normal for her friends who were 18 going on 19. She had problems dating in college because she was so immature and it bled into law school because she was insecure about her social abilities at that point.  She ended up being a very young law school professor who had problems getting respect because she looked young to begin with and was actually only a year or two older than some of her students. She says she wishes that her parents had figured out something other than puttiing her in college that young. If it matters, she was barely 16...we started college in August and she had just 16 in late July. [/quote]
