13yo student thrives at Univ. of Connecticut

Victoria Campbell, 13, homeschooled and completed high school requirements at age 10. Now, at 13, she's enrolled full-time at the University of Connecticut.

Excerpt from The Stamford Advocate's story:

In a given year, UConn receives about 15 to 20 applications from students deemed "very young," or under 16, according to Lee Melvin, interim vice president for enrollment planning, management and institutional research.

"We would have to consider all people that apply, regardless of age. They can be 8, they can be 98," he said.

If admitted, very young students don't receive special assistance or guidance, "because we don't want to single that student out because of their age," he said.
