Question about ages of participants - The DIS Discussion Forums

Heartless Pirate · 10-24-2009, 12:40 AM

The more people I talk to on facebook and such, the more I realize a lot of people are over 21. Starting to make me feel like I'm doing it too early in my college career(I'm a sophomore). If you participated, what was the ratio? And if you are participating, how old are you and what year are you in?

I did SA 09 when i was 22- turned 23

I will be applying for FA 10 when i'm 23/24 depending on the start date.

That being said, there is a WIDE range of ages on the CP. Most of the people I hung out with at the begining of the CP were people 18-19 that i 'met' on facebook before I came down...

I even knew of a few CPs who were old enough to have kids doing the CP (that's not common though)

there are a lot of career start (just out of high school )... and a lot of people aged 19-22ish

You'll be fine :-) You'll see!

I think it's pretty even, really. The first time I did it, I was 19 (turned 20 while there). The second time I was 23 (turned 24 while there). But most of the people I knew were anywhere from 19 to 27, and a few older people who'd gone back to college.

Now i'm doing my second one and I'm 20

It's never too early

Don't worry, you won't be alone. I was the oldest in my apartment (turned 21 during my program) but the others weren't far behind!
