Victoria Knight and Anthony Coombe are Adelaide Uni's youngest and oldest students Victoria Knight, 15, and Anthony Coombe, 76, are University of Adelaide's oldest and youngest students. Picture: SARAH REED Source: adelaidenow VICTORIA Knight should be a few weeks into Year 11, but the 15-year-old is instead preparing for her first day of university. The teenager is the youngest student enrolled at the University of Adelaide this year, while Anthony Coombe, at 76, is the oldest. Despite their six-decade age gap, the pair share similar sentiments in the lead-up to the start of semester one on Monday. "It's a bit daunting," Victoria, who is studying psychological science, said. I've come to an introduction event . . . and there's been talk of pub crawls and stuff, which is funny because I can't go. Victoria started reading when she was about 2 1/2 and completed Year 12 at The Heights School in Modbury last year. She skipped Year 6 and did Year 8 and 9 over one year, as part of an acceleration program. Mr Coombe is no stranger to tertiary education, having completed a law degree at Adelaide University in 1969. He since has continued to study, including learning French in Paris. It was a desire to keep his mind active and a passion for Spanish that led him to enrol in a Bachelor of Arts part-time. "Victoria's a little worried about what the students will think of her being 15 but I'm wondering what they'll think of this old guy in a wheelchair," he said.
