What are the ethics of an older transfer student dating other students?

Tay K asked:


I recently transferred into a new university. I am now 21 and have approximately sophomore standing (the credit transfers didn’t go well) so I will soon be older than most students.

At the same time I would like to start dating, which I haven’t done yet. I *could* date outside of my university but I would rather stick to dating other students. I’ve ruled out freshmen already (it just doesn’t feel right). What other limits should I follow?

By the way, I know age-of-consent laws are usually 16 or 18. The law is not the issue here.
