What on earth have students' sex lives got to do with the college? Tim Send a noteboard - 15/03/2010 12:52:03 PM
The age of consent is 18 in only twelve states – in all the others it's 16 or 17. And in most of those twelve states, there are exemptions when the partners are close in age.

And even if the age of consent is 18, why is that more of a problem for a college than it is for a high school? It's not as if colleges have a rule that you have to have sex while you're there.

And about papers – aren't they all signed before you come to college?

Sort of seems opportunistic really - 14/03/2010 02:00:54 AM 213 Views
even if it was, it's still all sorts of heartwarming - 14/03/2010 02:45:12 AM 188 Views
Yeah, I suppose so - 14/03/2010 02:52:55 AM 185 Views
Given the nature of the people involved, I highly doubt they're willing to go to NOLA. - 14/03/2010 03:31:33 AM 205 Views

Aren't high-school graduands generally 18? - 14/03/2010 10:34:20 AM 211 Views
Prom is in early April - so statistically, only about 25% of students will have turned 18... - 14/03/2010 03:40:26 PM 172 Views
That's probably off by a good deal, closer to 50% - 14/03/2010 04:48:07 PM 192 Views
Ah, yes, that would make a difference. - 14/03/2010 04:56:19 PM 187 Views
School years by birth year? That's far too logical and orderly for an English-speaking country! - 14/03/2010 11:10:27 PM 179 Views
It's pretty arbitrary, but you have to consider the ramifications at the college level - 15/03/2010 12:05:28 AM 184 Views
What are the "noticeable difficulties" with having 17-year-olds on campus? - 15/03/2010 08:19:24 AM 174 Views
Mostly, I can only think of problems relating to sex. - 15/03/2010 12:38:06 PM 158 Views

Well, they aren't legal adults... - 15/03/2010 01:05:33 PM 165 Views
Because it means you can't pass your test until long after you've started your "independent" life. - 15/03/2010 08:44:33 PM 196 Views
Depends on the country, I would imagine. - 15/03/2010 08:53:40 PM 161 Views
All countries I'm aware of have "driving age" mean the age you can take the test - 15/03/2010 10:24:16 PM 174 Views
Huh, maybe I was wrongly assuming everywhere was like here. - 15/03/2010 10:33:50 PM 211 Views
in the states - 15/03/2010 10:44:11 PM 165 Views
Yeah, I think a lot of states do the same. - 15/03/2010 11:38:04 PM 147 Views
there are a LOT more automatics over here. - 16/03/2010 01:22:26 AM 148 Views

Here they recently changed the system too, so I'm not sure on the details, but... - 15/03/2010 10:55:13 PM 151 Views
That's another sensible thing. - 16/03/2010 08:47:09 AM 145 Views
All of that goes out the window with preschool, though. - 15/03/2010 02:16:42 AM 166 Views
Same - 2.5, actually. *NM* - 15/03/2010 12:31:42 PM 57 Views
