You guys are starting to worry me. I have done almost all of my training in C172s and have had my license since September last year. My instructor always told me that approach speed was 65 knots and 60 knots for short field landing. Two other instructors I have since done checkouts with also concurred with 65 knots for normal landing approach. So how come this is too fast all of a sudden?

If it is too fast, where does the old addage "65, stay alive" originate from.
