The movie came out in 1978, so that means peoples' approximate ages would've been...

College freshman Kay Lenz was 25
Teaching assistant Tony Bill was 37 (!!)
College student Morgan Fairchild was 28
College freshman Morgan Brittany was 27
College student Robert Hays was 30
College student Tisa Farrow was 27

I know "young" characters are often played by older actors but this movie just seemed all out of whack. Nobody looked like they still belonged in school.

"I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus."
"Didn't he discover America?"
"Penfold, shush."

More often than not, 30 year olds are cast as high school kids eg. the Karate Kid, Happy Days
So actors in their late 20s is fair game I suppose.
