When she has decided what college to attend, it wouldn't hurt for her to contact the student health center and find out whether their pharmacy carries the medication. If it doesn't, considering the importance of this medication, the health center may arrange to stock it just for her or may make arrangements for it to be delivered to the health center from another pharmacy.
For less important medications, college students often have to go to community pharmacies, which may or may not be a problem depending on where the nearest community pharmacy is located (at the college my son attended, it was right next to the campus; at my daughter's college, it's a 20-minute ride away on a public bus).
One of my kids had to rely on a community pharmacy (and an off-campus doctor) to get Accutane, which the student health center refused to have anything to do with. The other one, who has great difficulty swallowing pills, has to go to a community pharmacy to get anything that's prescribed for her in chewable or liquid form because the on-campus pharmacy doesn't carry those forms of medicines.
