You know a rich 18 year is pretty much the same as other 18 year olds, but with money.

Ah, no
All this flash the rich student is showing, never ends well, but rich student has huge safety net. OP's child does not.

Fall semester at most schools started on Aug 22nd and freshman moved in a week before that. Athletes report three weeks before that. All the fresh meat on campus loves athletes, they don’t care about guys with money, not at the age between 18 and 20. Athletes rule.

Most college aged girls would absolutely fall for guys who can whisk them away in their private jet over an athlete on scholarship.

Right?! Sportsball is great, but I would have been mouth agape at having access to a private jet. We were in BFE so a freshman having ANY car was a big deal. 🤣

I played QB at a P5 school and my roommate was from a very rich family. I always had better looking women than he did.

Four touchdowns in one game!

The rich kid will blame shift any legal issues onto the athlete on a scholarship. If the cops are ever involved, the rich kid will hang your son out to dry. Seen it a million times before.

Whenever the drugs come out, your son needs to excuse himself.

Also, your son should not become the pimp for this friend. He should not be introducing girls to him.

Your son should also make other friends group because once the rich guy gets a girlfriend, he will drop your son.

Also, no academic dishonesty please. Your kid will be skewered.

Your son is not special. He should be wary.

Tell your kid not to drive the Porsche. You can't afford to replace it and insurance will go after the driver.

Ultimately, it is a peek into another world that your child probably won't ever experience again. Let him/her enjoy it and hope that you raised them well enough not to get in trouble. Use it to his/her advantage and get some internships or work out of it.

The bold was a major concern for me.

Athletes are housed with athletes because they keep the same schedules and face the same pressures on their time. The last thing a coach wants is having the roommate of a star player burst into the dorm room at 11pm and start cutting lines on the desk, entertaining a few guests on a random Tuesday night.

LOL. Have you been to University of Florida? You have no idea.

Assuming this is true, I would tell my ds to focus on the friendship. Does he like this person. If so, treat it like any relationship - a give and take.

I truly feel that your ds should NOT be accepting use of car and meals regularly. It does not matter how rich his friend is.

Not private jet rich but I have had many ( still have them!) friendships with people wealthier than me, and while I accept dinner, trip invites, I always reciprocate even though not at same level. It is a friendship that should be based on mutual respect, interests, fondness.

Your ds is young so you can discuss. It is ok to say “ no” I don’t want to eat a club x. I appreciate the offer but not this time. Another time, your ds can suggest a pizza or coffee he can afford and treat.

It may feel like “ what does it matter because x is so rich” but it does. This friendship can work but it must be balanced!

Wow, stereotype much?

Rich kid with a Targa from Florida and access to a private jet?

The question isn't "does he do coke?" The question is "does he buy in eight balls or ounces?"
