My college accepted a student last year who was 14 or 15 years old.
I don't know if they live on campus (or what the legality of that would even be). They're incredibly ambitious and intelligent but I honestly feel a bit bad for them. While they aren't as extreme an age gap as this kid; there's still a yawning chasm in life experience between a 15/16 year old and a 22 year old in contemporary American society.
