They were usually approximate about ages on the original series. Yes, Cindy was a little old to be an undergraduate. But she always was a bit of a dumba$$. She may have attended college part time or even not attended for a few years. I was only 21 years old when I graduated college. But many classmates I graduated with were much older. Colleges now refer to students over 25 as "non-traditional". When I was in school we called them geezers or grayheads.

I guess I'm one of those geezers, because I graduated college when I was 28 almost four years ago. But I don't remember Cindy being dumb during the series. She was always in the same grade as Bobby. Some people start college late or take breaks for a couple of years in between, regardless of how intelligent they are.
Let's get dangerous! -

The original series was usually very approximate about the ages of the Brady kids.
In high school if you have a pulse and show up almost every day you will get a diploma at the end of four years. College is much different. If you have poor grades, transfer schools and/or change majors that can set you back. A lot of people need an extra semester or two to finish their degree. There is no shame in that as long as you graduate. Many students have been on the "five year plan". Cindy was on the ten year plan. -

It's perfectly conceivable that Cindy changed majors. In
The Brady Brides
she's a theater major, but by the time
The Bradys
came along in 1990 she is working as a DJ. She might have gone for a couple years, tried acting which didn't work out, went back and majored in Communications or Radio/TV. -

By the time child #6 is ready to go to college, most parents would be tired of any struggle the kid puts up, so they're more than happy to let them take their time finishing school.
Also, most parents have more money by then.
So Cindy not graduating till age 25 makes sense.
