A traditional student is a category of students at colleges and universities.
In the United States, it is used to refer to post-secondary students between 18-22 years old who enroll directly from high school, attend full-time, live on campus, and do not have major life and work responsibilities (e.g., full-time job or dependents).[1][2][3]
Traditional students are contrasted with non-traditional students, which typically refers to adult students who are not participating in higher education immediately after high school, are 25 years old and older, and/or have major life and work roles and responsibilities.[4][5]
