Like a lot of other 12-year-olds, Caleb Anderson of Marietta, Ga., loves outer space.

“I’m fascinated that there’s another world beyond ours. There’s another place. There’s a better place,” he tells NPR.

But unlike most kids his age, he’s a sophomore in college, where he’s studying calculus, U.S. history, humanities and macroeconomics.
