<p>My D will turn 18 in December of her freshman year. The only problem we have run into is that she can’t open a credit union account on her own without having her signature notarized (I don’t get it either) and myself or my husband as joint owner. </p>
<p>The university has been great about everything else. She will be in an all girl’s dorm her freshman year, as that is where the swim team is housed - I actually like that she will be in a place that is a little more protective this first year. After that she can do as she chooses.</p>
