<p>I can’t really figure out why your parents let you apply to, or visit, this college if they are going to refuse to allow you to attend. That’s just me.</p>
<p>I actually have had to visit daughter, a plane ride away, because she was overwhelmingly ill her first quarter with the swine, which was badly mistreated and turned into pnuemonia, and she was newly on her own and one of her chem teachers refused to allow her to retake a missed test even though she was forbidden to go to class (contagious) by the health center. She had a fever of astonishing levels.</p>
<p>She would have had to walk five blocks in an unseasonable snow to get her cough medication, and it just got to be time for me to show up and get her calmed down and medicated and help her to write the appropriate emails and make the appropriate phone calls.</p>
<p>All that said, she would not need me to do that for a normal illness, and this one was really completely out of control a short while into her first year of college. I haven’t needed to visit her since then, though there have been times I’m sure she would have liked me to have felt that need. 
</p>
<p>In the meantime, she’s grown up.</p>
<p>Good luck. I don’t know how this boxing match is going to turn out, but I hope you can manage come fall.</p>
