Before selecting any college, weed out the ones with high track records of covid, campus crime and poor security

Omg. I LOVE my IPhone 📱 but at as an adult, I am glad I grew up without one 📱. I would have been in so much trouble if my parents could track me!

Parents helicopter when kids demonstrate that they aren’t responsible. Responsible kids don’t get helicoptered because parents have plenty of other things to do, but their children’s welfare comes first
