[Solved] General Student Population

Some educational critics believe that non-traditional college students (students who are older than the general student population, who are financially independent, and who deferred enrollment after high school) are more likely to succeed than traditional college students (students who are 18-21 years old, who are financially dependent on their families, and who go straight from high school to college). These critics believe that younger students are too immature and too unmotivated to achieve as older students do. Do you agree with this?
