<p>I just wanted to see what you guys thought about this, I personally don't think its an issue at all, just want to see what you guys think. I was in a terrible car accident last year, me and my girlfriend almost lost our lives, my family lost our house, car etc. It was terrible, but its the next year now, the present, and I've worked hard to get back on my feet, and was accepted into a nice university because that is what I want to do, be in school. I would have last year but the car accident, so my question is me and my roommate have been talking via text, phone, facebook etc, and he seems really cool, and we are like completely compatible and i am thankful for a cool roommate. But he skipped a grade and is 17, I am 19, both freshmen and a ton in common and we know each others age and not an issue at all, I was just wondering if it would be to you guys, or what your thoughts are on the subject? Sorry for the wall of text.</p>
<p>Age is no biggie in college, both of you are under 21 so no beer runs from either of you dudes. You said he’s cool and compatible with you so it’s all good.</p>
<p>Freshman year, my roommate turned 19 when I was still 17. It didn’t matter at all. They’ve been dealing with that age difference their whole lives and won’t make a big deal about it if you don’t.</p>
<p>Ya but its like not only has he skipped a grade, because of my accident I had to wait a year after high school. So I have 2 years and months on him. But ya no biggie, just seeing what you guys thought. And I agree, both think nothing of it so ya.</p>
<p>I go to boarding school and plenty of ppl in my grade are older than me (we’ve had 20 year old seniors, and not post-grad year) and it’s never been a problem. It should be even less of a one in college.</p>
<p>I am 20 and my roommate is 18. It is a little weird because I am studying for the LSAT and she is still talking about prom. Perhaps I am more forward thinking than the average 20 year old, I don’t know, but we do seem to be in different phases of life. However she is nice enough and we seem to be getting along, I think it’ll be fine. I think we are both making a point not to make a big deal about it, and socially we are still very much the same anyway which is what matters most.</p>
<p>I was friends with a 23 year old when I was 19. We were pretty goods friends (The only time it made a difference was the dating point). </p>
<p>Your age difference is like what, 2 years. No big deal :D</p>
<p>It’s just 2 years, if you were like 57 and he was 17 then it would be strange. Especially if he had ED. But maybe that’s just me.</p>
<p>But yeah, 2 years isn’t much.</p>
