Graduating from college at any age is an accomplishment, and one girl has done just that, at just 18 years of age.

Emily Hunt is one of about 70 students at Mary Baldwin College involved in the Program for the Exceptionally Gifted, or PEG. The program allows gifted students to test out of high school.

"Mary Baldwin gives you a lot of opportunities to express yourself and communicate with other people," says Hunt. "I think that's where I had my biggest growth. I don't know if a program like PEG would work at another college just because the community here is so close-knit."

Hunt finished her commencement walk Sunday, and then she is on her way to Wake Forest for Law School.

I think that this is a bad idea. You get to know yourself through high school...prom, football games, etc. You are missing out on everything and you are starting out college and you can't even drive!!!! I guess it's just a way for people to go in debt sooner?
