My daughter graduated from high school early and she just turned 17, decided she wanted to go to a small community college than transfer later on. She had her hopes up on residing in the dorms, but they said she had to be 18 by the end of the first semester but every case is different. So we did what was asked of us and she even wrote a letter to the president and senior resident advisors asking them to allow her to stay on campus and why she wanted too. Today she gets the call saying the insurance company won’t allow her, what happened to it being a case by case basis? She is going to be an athlete for this college plus a student and they deny her residency in there dorms!! So know she has to drive an hour and half each way to school and New York winters are not easy. Does anyone know if what they did was legal? Penalizing a young adult for working hard to achieve her goal!”

As a 16 year old, you cannot sign a legally binding contract. Where are you getting all of this sage wisdom? Your arrogance is unbelievable and it will immediately be noticeable in college apps. The legal age in the US, as an adult, is 18. This means the school can only control, so much. You would be under a curfew for law enforcement. Our laws are strict. I have 3 children who have been through the application process and through their dorm experiences.
Grow up and stop claiming that you are an expert in US law.
