There is a difference between forced assimilation and socialization. I have known several people, males and females, who went to college at an early age. They did it quietly without other people knowing. They went to elite universities and were able to blend in without being suspected of being younger - an advantage to going to a school with a nerdy student body. They dated classmates who were 3 years older. Socially they preferred the college environment and lost interest in their high school friends who were more concerned about prom than getting into graduate school.
