Graduate Vs. Undergraduate school
Okay,
So If I am a graduate of a university, does it mean that I've completed my masters.... Because otherwise woudn't you be a undergraduate of a certain university.....
Because I'm trying to figure out how old this guy is and he's a "graduate of BU 2009"
Thank you

He's about 21 or 22.

Agree with above. You could also just ask him. That would solve the problem better. :)

That probably means that he graduated undergraduate from BU in summer of 2009. Undergraduate is what is commonly meant by "college", where you get your bachelor's degree, usually about 4 years. Then, if you are a "graduate student", as opposed to an "undergraduate student", that means you have already graduated from a university and received your bachelor's, and have enrolled in a graduate school working towards a master's or higher degree.

You can be a graduate of high school.
You can be a graduate of kindergarten.
You can be a graduate of an undergraduate program.
You can be a graduate of a master’s program.
I know it's a bit confusing because we do sometimes use the word both ways. Doing 'graduate work' means doing work at the masters level, but being a graduate can be the successful competition of pretty much any kind of program, even non-academic ones. You might have heard someone say of a small child that they “graduated from a crib to a bed.” It’s still an okay way to use the word.
