college age
Late teens, early twenties
College age refers to the typical age range of undergraduate students, roughly eighteen to twenty-two.
The term often describes young adults in that developmental stage regardless of whether they actually attend college: college-age voters, a bar full of college-age kids.
It captures both a demographic category and a life phase of early independence.
