Answer 1

By the time one graduates high school (at the end of senior year), he/she is usually 18 years old. However, some seniors may be 17 when they graduate as well. When one graduates from a 4 year university, he/she should be around 22 years old. Although, it tends to take a lot of college students some extra time (years really) to graduate if they take some time off from school, or if they were just part time students.
