How old is "young hamlet" what evidence in act one supports youre theory?

I think Hamlet is in his late teens, because in act one scene 2, King Claudius says that he does not wish for Hamlet to reurn to school at Wittenburg. Since Hamlet is a college student, he must be young.

Is this theory accurate?

This seems right. Because of your theory (that, generally, a student is a younger person), and perhaps also because he is young enough for an adult (Claudius) to have that much say in his life.
