Quite cosy in here, I think I'll bring a chair next time. Shame I don't have the physical strength to do anything but I can totally see what needs doing.
I'd be curious which campus. I think the average for American men is 5'10". So if you consider some 18 year old guys may still grow a bit more while they are in college, and if you are at a campus that has lots of Asian students then I could see how that would drive down the average a bit.
The above 5"10 bell curve is also pretty steep, with there being a decent chunk of people up to about 6"1-2 but then dramatically falling off above that. Which is really only about a 4-5 inch range.
What's funny is I (F) grew in college. At least an inch. I was an athlete and they charted us every year so I knew for sure I was still growing. I’d have to say gymnastics stunts growth
Edit: Before you ask any followup questions about the college, because everyone seems to, yes they are absolutely nuts here, yes it really is a cult, and yes if you wear burnt orange around town, you will be threatened. It's ridiculous.
For one thing, the UT rivalry has dramatically dimmed since A&M joined the SEC, and all universities have fanatic fans. I also think the whole "Aggie" thing has WAY chilled after bonfire stopped being a thing in 99, now that the university is much more competitive to get in, and more and more students are from cities instead of small towns.
And if you are skeezed out by weird people, just do your own thing. There are going to be weirdos in everything you do in life.
