Emmett's age?

Does anyone know how old Emmett is? I don't recall it ever being mentioned in the series. I figure Lindsay and Melanie are the same age as Brian. I'm only basing that on the fact that Brian and Lindsay became friends in college. Everyone else's age is mentioned in one way or another.

ETA: I think it's most probable from the responses that Emmett is most likely 27-28 in Season 1.

Thanks to oh_amelia, trintiff, and vlredreign for responding.

I've always thought of Emmett as being a bit younger that that, maybe like 24ish when the show started. He's just as vain as Brian is about his youth and I think if he turned 30 during the show some type of acknowledgement would have been given to it, either by him or the others teasing him. If he left home right when he turned 18 and ended up in pittsburgh, he would have been there about 6 years at the start of season one. Thats a fairly large amount of time to have met and lived with Godiva and subsequently Michael. Plus his immaturity about finances and inconsistency with employment feels more accurate for someone a bit younger (although it could also have just been Emmett's flakiness :)) I know Peter Paige was older, and so Emmett of course looks older too. But I'm gonna stick with 24ish. It works for me :). Younger that the original group, but still considerably older than Justin too.
