Caleb Anderson is studying aerospace engineering at Georgia Tech. He's 13 years old.

As college students across the country return to classrooms for the fall semester, Georgia Tech is welcoming a 13-year-old teen who hopes to major in aerospace engineering.

Caleb Anderson attended his first day of classes at the Georgia Institute of Technology on Monday, the university confirmed in a statement this week. Anderson started his college career as a sophomore after taking courses at Chattahoochee Technical College for advanced credits.

Anderson, the youngest student on Georgia Tech’s campus, called his first day of classes “pretty interesting” in the university’s statement. He was daunted by the size of the school’s campus, describing it as “massive.”

“This is the kind of school I have been wanting to go to for a very long time, and I am finally here,” Anderson, who hails from Marietta, Georgia, said.
