There is much discussion these days about how to “categorize” (for lack of better terms) college-age people. Some churches will place college ministry under the student ministry umbrella, while others consider it different, placing it under the responsibilities of adult ministry.

On a more individual note some consider college-age people adults, while others consider them adolescents (not in a derogatory way at all) who are seeking to land in the adult land of life.

Where do you land?

Whichever side you lean toward or land in I think we can all agree that there are probably both adult like as well as adolescent characteristics to college-age people. So, what I would love to discuss is what you think those characteristics are. What adult characteristics do college-age people have, and what adolescent characteristics do they tend to still have?
