I just noticed that, when I got to the college section of my list, I
had kept the words "high school" instead of substituting the word
"college" in the last 3 entries (I had copied and pasted that section
as a shortcut for typing). It should have read:
Freshman in high school=14 years old
Sophmore in high school=15 years old
Junior in high school=16 years old
Senior in high school=17 years old
Freshman in college (undergraduate)=18 years old
Sophmore in college=19 years old
Junior in college=20 years old
Senior in college=21 years old

As Carla mentioned, after high school, the name of the institution can
be college or university (most times the distinction between the two
is based on the size of the enrollment).
