There is no grey area, if you can't see that at 18 being old enough to work, study and live independently you don't belong in a university setting.

Of course there's a "grey area", the idea that there's a switch that gets flipped on a certain date that turns a child into an adult is illogical and ridiculous. "Happy 18th Birthday, you're an adult now!!" is the dangerous ground.
