[quote=Anonymous]OP, most of us parents are a tad nervous about sending our 17 or 18 year olds to college. It is normal, I think, but it is usually the case that kids this age are smarter than we give them credit for. Also, for what it's worth, most colleges provide a bit of a safety net for students compared to that they'll find once they are out in the real world. Campus police, the student health center, the counseling center, rape crisis center, etc. are there to help. The primary responsibility still rests with the student, of course, but there's some back up. Also, I agree that kids by college age should be able to look out for one another. Lastly, parents are available by phone, internet, etc. for emergencies. Hopefully our kids will come to us if they are really in trouble. At the end of the day you cannot eliminate all of the risks.[/quote]
