"If you can't stand the skeletons, stay out of the closet" - Val D Greenwood

I have a question (or two) about the customs in the 1600s regarding the education of one's sons.

For a man of above average means, was it the norm to educate one's sons in England? Or might only the eldest son be given this type of education? 

What would the age of a young man have to be to enter college? I believe one would graduate college in that time period at about the age of 18? Is my thinking correct on this?

Thanks for any input on this!
