Agree ^^^with the country club/rich kids atmosphere at alot of colleges. Rollins does have its share of rich kids and some that flaunt their money but for the most part there are alot of kids on scholarships and work study on campus. Both of my kids hang with people that generally have to watch their spending. Many had to consult their family about fees for greek life. Not everyone at Rollins can drop a few hundred on a weekend either.

As far as being 17 when she starts college, the only thing you will need to do is sign paperwork. There will be others only 17 as well. I know My D has a friend that turned 18 in the fall and they had a special birthday celebration for her. Also there are a couple under 21 clubs that she could not go to as a 17 year old. She will adapt quickly but as parents I know there is always that worry, especially with the first one heading to college. I believe Rollins does a great job helping the kids adapt to college but you can stipulate weekly skype sessions/text/calls until she gets settled in.

My kids both had great roommates. My D only knew of one change request which did happen without alot of fuss. Her dorm assignment will be determined by the RCC(this is the first year course for all freshmen) she chooses and ultimately gets. The list is already available to look at. I’ll pm the specifics. My S got his first choice and D got her second choice. Also her advisor will be the instructor for that RCC.

My internet was down for the last couple days and I could not log on so I will pm some detailed info later.
