[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The advice re medical directives and forms is good. Make sure your child knows how to refill any prescriptions (when to do it online or on the phone vs needing to call a doctor for a new prescription).

For this year in particular, pack very lightly. They can pick up what they need when they need it...or learn to do without.

I haven’t heard of parents staying more than one night after drop off, but every kid and every situation is different, so just be as flexible as you can be.

Most kids don’t need a credit card right away (unless they will be booking flights), and I assume your child has a debit card and Venmo, but make sure she/he sets these up if not.

Trying to figure out bank account, credit card, Venmo etc. 
At least for first year would like to have some oversight - perhaps be the secondary account holder?  
A little nervous about child having everything on their phone (bank account, credit card, Venmo etc). Any tips for how to keep financial information private and secure especially if you lose your phone?
Thanks [/quote]
